Chun Che Fung

About

Dr. Chun Che Fung is a pioneering researcher whose work spans mobile robotics, intelligent systems, and crisis communication technologies. His early contributions to mobile robot path planning, particularly the implementation of spline curve algorithms (23 citations), established foundational methods for dynamic navigation in unstructured environments. Fung also advanced multi-robot coordination through infrared-based position sensing systems, enabling precise localization without external infrastructure—a critical capability for team operations. Beyond robotics, he developed intelligent agent frameworks for global crisis communication, including embodied conversational agents that deliver real-time alerts via SMS and mobile services during emergencies like SARS and tsunamis (14 citations). His exploration of domain-specific chatbots and interactive malware (12 and 8 citations) reflects a forward-looking engagement with human-machine interaction and cybersecurity. Notably, Fung led the creation of iThaiSTAR, a low-cost humanoid robot designed to preserve and teach Thai cultural dances, blending engineering with cultural heritage. With over 80 citations across his most influential works, Fung’s interdisciplinary research continues to influence autonomous systems, crisis informatics, and socially intelligent robotics.
