About

Woon Kyu Lee is a robotics researcher whose work centers on human-robot interaction, teleoperation, and motion control. His primary contributions lie in the development of exoskeleton master robots and humanoid slave robots, enabling intuitive motion-following tasks where a human operator’s movements are captured and replicated by a robotic system. Lee’s foundational paper, “FPGA Design for Controlling Humanoid Robot Arms by Exoskeleton Motion Capture System” (2006, 17 citations), demonstrates his expertise in hardware implementation, using FPGA chips to create real-time control and interface between master and slave robots. His 2007 work, “Kinematics Analysis and Implementation of a Motion-Following Task for a Humanoid Slave Robot” (14 citations), further advances this teleoperation paradigm. Additionally, Lee explored visual servoing in “Tracking Control of a Moving Object for Robokers with Stereo Visual Feedback” (5 citations), integrating stereo vision for dynamic object tracking. With a career spanning over a decade, Lee’s research has laid groundwork for assistive robotics and humanoid control, offering practical solutions for motion capture and remote manipulation. His work remains a reference for engineers developing intuitive, hardware-efficient robotic interfaces.
