Daeho Lee
I build sensing hardware and experimental systems to study how people and robots interact with the ground.
I am a researcher at the Agency for Defense Development in Daejeon, South Korea. I earned my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in mechanical engineering at KAIST, where I worked with Prof. Kyoungchul Kong in Exo Lab.
My work spans gait-phase detection, contact-force measurement, and exoskeleton integration. I am interested in using these measurements to inform the control of wearable and legged robots.
For a current CV, email me.
