Overview: 

Ritchie Lee is an Robotics Researcher in unmanned systems at Carnegie Mellon Silicon Valley, where he is engaged in several key research projects at the Carnegie Mellon Innovations Laboratory (CMIL). At CMIL, Ritchie is helping to lead the efforts to create compact, highly capable mobile autonomous vehicles covering ground, air and space operations. His work in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) is done in close collaboration with various groups of scientists and engineers at the NASA Ames Research Center, including the Exploration Aerial Vehicle (EAV) Laboratory. His main research interests lie in artificial intelligence, estimation & control, and embedded systems.

Ritchie has been involved with a multitude of research and industry endeavors including projects at Sensors & Software, Bell Mobility, and both the University of Waterloo and Stanford University. As a result, Ritchie’s experience spans a wide variety of platforms ranging from those in the deep seas to those in outer space. Platforms he has worked on include small spacecrafts, fixed- & rotary-wing aircrafts, rovers, manipulators, and even submersibles.

Ritchie holds an M.S. in Aeronautics and Astronautics Engineering from Stanford University, and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Waterloo.
