Augmenting human mobility through robotics and AI
Augmenting human mobility through robotics and AI
Hello! My name is Ung Hee Lee. I'm a Machine Learning Research Scientist at Nuro, and a PhD graduate in Mechanical Engineering Department at University of Michigan. I was part of the Neurobionics Lab, which is affiliated with the Michigan Robotics Institute and led by Dr. Elliott Rouse . My research areas lie within the field of Robotics, Computer Programming and Mechatronics. My PhD work aims to advance human mobility (i.e., locomotion) by designing control principles for wearable robotic system. In particular, I'm interested in high-level, decision making control strategies for classifying ambulation mode. I use the tools of system dynamics, identification, machine learning and control to develop wearable robotic technologies. My past research areas include scene segmentation and localizing grasp affordance for mobile manipulation for people in real-world scenarios. Although my research areas may seem broad, the path I followed was to answer this question: How human/robot perceives the world and interact with robot/human? I believe as following this journey, it will not only fulfill my thirst of curiosity but also will improve the quality of individuals, which is my core motivation of these works.
