About

Yap Yee Leck is a robotics researcher whose work has made meaningful contributions to the field of robotic systems design and control. His research focuses primarily on the development of multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arms, with a particular emphasis on practical, accessible solutions for trajectory planning and motion control. His most recognized work, the PC-Based Robotic Arm (PC-ROBOARM), introduced an efficient framework for controlling a 6-DOF robotic arm using a personal computer interface, addressing longstanding challenges in robotic arm design, including the complexities of coordinating movement, speed regulation, and trajectory optimization. This contribution has proven especially valuable for researchers and educators seeking cost-effective yet capable robotic platforms. The PC-ROBOARM paper has accumulated over 60 citations since its publication in 2011, reflecting its sustained relevance and influence within the robotics and automation community. Yap's work is particularly noteworthy for bridging the gap between theoretical robotic control principles and real-world implementation, making advanced robotic concepts more approachable. For students and researchers entering the field of robotics, his contributions offer a solid foundational reference for understanding the practical challenges and solutions involved in designing and controlling articulated robotic systems.
