About
Seungmin Lee is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, stretchable electronics, and human-robot interaction. His work is defined by a drive to create machines that move, sense, and interact with the world in more natural and capable ways. Lee’s most impactful contribution is the development of a novel mobile platform featuring 2-DOF transformable wheels, detailed in his 2020 paper (71 citations). This breakthrough allows service robots to dynamically reshape their wheels to overcome steps and stairs, solving a fundamental mobility challenge in indoor environments. He has also advanced the field of soft robotics with his work on intrinsically-stretchable quantum dot color conversion layers for robotic skin (2025, 17 citations), enabling full-color, flexible displays for wearable tech. Further demonstrating his versatility, Lee has explored the use of teaching assistant robots in elementary English classes (2010) and developed flexible optoelectronic sensors using metal-wire-embedded microtrenches (2024). His research on foot angle determination for efficient heel-toe walking in humanoid robots (2017) showcases his commitment to biomimetic design. With a portfolio spanning mechanical design, materials science, and educational robotics, Lee is shaping the future of robots that are more mobile, expressive, and integrated into daily life.
