About

Sanboh Lee is a pioneering researcher in the field of smart materials and soft robotics, with a primary focus on the development and characterization of artificial muscles. Their work centers on the thermomechanical and electrothermal actuation of polymer-based systems, particularly those utilizing polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Lee’s major contributions include the foundational study of thermomechanical deformation in PET artificial muscles, which demonstrated how controlled heating can induce reversible shape changes for actuation—a critical insight for designing lightweight, flexible robotic components. This work, published in 2020, has garnered 12 citations, establishing a basis for subsequent innovations. Building on this, Lee introduced a novel silver-PET core–shell structure that enables electrothermal actuation, allowing precise control of muscle contraction via electrical current. This 2022 study, with 2 citations, represents a significant step toward integrating artificial muscles into practical, electrically powered devices. Lee’s research bridges materials science and mechanical engineering, offering scalable solutions for prosthetics, wearable robotics, and biomedical devices. Their achievements highlight a commitment to advancing actuator technology through elegant material design and rigorous thermal analysis.
