About

ZhiChao Khor is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of robotics, automation, and human-computer interaction, with a particular focus on transforming the food and beverage industry. His key research areas include autonomous mobile robotics, automated service systems, and user interface design. Khor’s major contributions are pioneering concepts for fully automated dining experiences. His most cited work, "A new Automated Food Delivery System using autonomous track guided centre-wheel drive robot" (2010, 19 citations), proposes a novel robotic solution to address labor shortages and improve service efficiency in busy restaurants. Complementing this, his paper on an "Automated Food Ordering System with Interactive User Interface approach" (2010, 10 citations) introduces tabletop touchscreens that streamline ordering and kitchen communication. Together, these works form a cohesive vision for end-to-end automation in hospitality. Though early in his career, Khor’s research has been recognized for its practical, forward-thinking approach, laying foundational concepts for the smart restaurant technologies that are increasingly common today. His work demonstrates a clear commitment to solving real-world logistical challenges through intelligent system design.
