About
Teng Fong Tang is a researcher specializing in the modeling, control, and characterization of pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) for applications in robotics and biomedical engineering. His work focuses on overcoming the inherent nonlinearities of these actuators to achieve precise, reliable motion control. Tang’s most-cited contributions include the development of an improved PID control strategy for point-to-point positioning of pneumatic muscle actuated systems, demonstrating enhanced accuracy and stability in dynamic tasks. He has also conducted foundational characterization studies on PAMs arranged in opposing pair configurations, providing critical insights into their force, displacement, and hysteresis behavior—essential knowledge for designing biomimetic robotic devices and rehabilitation exoskeletons. His research has garnered over a dozen citations, reflecting its relevance to engineers developing safe, high power-to-weight ratio actuators for human-robot interaction. By advancing both control methodologies and empirical understanding of PAM systems, Tang has helped bridge the gap between theoretical actuator models and practical, high-performance robotic applications.
