About

Youngmyung Lee is a pioneering researcher in assistive robotics, with a primary focus on robot-enhanced mobility interventions for children with neurodevelopmental disorders. Her most influential work, "Robot-Enhanced Mobility Training of Children With Cerebral Palsy: Short-Term and Long-Term Pilot Studies" (2014), addresses a critical gap in early childhood development: the lack of self-generated mobility in infants with cerebral palsy (CP), which can lead to cascading developmental delays. Lee’s research demonstrates how robotic mobility devices can provide these children with the ability to explore their environment, potentially mitigating secondary cognitive and motor deficits. Her studies, which have garnered significant attention in the rehabilitation robotics community, show both short-term and long-term benefits, establishing a foundation for future clinical applications. Additionally, Lee has contributed to the technical underpinnings of human-robot interaction through her work on "Detection, motion planning and control of human tracking mobile robots" (2011), where she developed integrated systems using stereo vision and laser scanners for precise human tracking. With her papers accumulating citations that underscore their impact, Lee’s work bridges engineering and pediatric rehabilitation, offering transformative tools for children with mobility impairments.
