Jimin Lee

I am a robotics researcher and M.S. student at KAIST, currently conducting research in the Unmanned Systems Research Group.

With a background in software engineering and embedded systems, I have developed various intelligent systems including a real-time wearable-controlled disaster rescue robot and a bidirectional AI translation system between Korean and Korean Sign Language.

I graduated early with top honors from my undergraduate program and now focus on developing PIBOT, a humanoid robot pilot capable of flying small aircraft by understanding air traffic control instructions. This project leverages large language models (LLMs) and vision-language-action (VLA) frameworks within a ROS-based control system.

My research interests lie in creating intelligent, human-centered robots that understand context and support daily life. I aim to integrate cutting-edge computing with robotics to design systems that enhance quality of life.
