About

Yuan-Shin Lee is a leading researcher in computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM), with a focus on tool path generation, geometric modeling, and robotic machining. His work bridges computational geometry and practical manufacturing, particularly for complex sculptured surfaces. His most cited paper (2008, 19 citations) introduces a mitered offset method for triangular meshes, a technique originally developed for machining tool paths but also applicable to shelling solid objects and collision avoidance in robotics. This work demonstrates his ability to create algorithms with broad industrial relevance. Lee has also advanced robotic digitization and grinding systems, including a robotic system for machining large sculptured surfaces (2012, 9 citations) and a specialized grinding robot for engine cylinder liner oil grooves (2012, 3 citations), addressing manual labor challenges in marine engine production. His contributions are significant for automating high-precision manufacturing tasks, and his work continues to influence both academic research and industrial applications in CAD/CAM and robotics.
