About

Yeonseo Lee is a robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of soft robotics, haptics, and human augmentation. Her most impactful contribution is the Origami Pump Actuator Based Pneumatic Quadruped Robot (OPARO), a highly efficient four-legged robot that uses only two motors to control all four legs through a clever combination of pneumatic coupling and tendon-driven systems—a design that has garnered 40 citations for its elegant simplicity. Lee has also advanced telepresence technology by developing a thermal feedback system that pairs a flexible display glove with a robot hand, allowing users to feel temperature during remote operation. Her most recent work introduces a wearable multifunctional additive hand (MAH) system that extends the human hand's workspace and grasping capabilities with three additional robotic fingers, optimized through careful parameter tuning. Across these projects, Lee demonstrates a consistent focus on creating practical, bio-inspired systems that bridge the gap between human intention and robotic action, making her research particularly relevant for students interested in accessible, low-complexity robotic designs and human-robot interaction.
