About

Dr. Boon Giin Lee is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of surgical robotics and continuum mechanisms, whose work is redefining precision in cardiovascular interventions. His primary research areas encompass robot-assisted intravascular catheterization, cable-driven continuum robots, and autonomous path planning. Dr. Lee’s major contributions include developing predictive models for catheterization trial outcomes by analyzing operators’ natural hand behaviors, and creating novel guidewire endpoint detection methods using pixel-adjacent relations in X-ray images—a breakthrough that overcomes challenges of low signal-to-noise ratios and nonrigid object tracking. His comprehensive review on cable-driven continuum robots (25 citations) has become a foundational reference, outlining future directions for flexible, high-DOF surgical tools. With a cumulative impact of over 45 citations across his most-cited works, Dr. Lee has also advanced multi-objective path planning using improved MOEA/D algorithms, enabling robots to navigate complex environments beyond simple shortest-path solutions. His work on surgeon–robot cooperative performance analysis is particularly notable for addressing force feedback and navigation challenges in remote-controlled systems. Dr. Lee’s research is instrumental in making robotic catheterization safer and more intuitive, directly impacting the future of minimally invasive surgery.
