About

Dr. Bei Wang is a robotics and intelligent systems researcher whose work bridges human-machine interaction, assistive technology, and collective behavior. Her most impactful contribution is a real-time control strategy for an EMG-driven meal assistance robot, "my spoon," which uses finite state machines and an adaptive threshold method on electromyogram signals to recognize elevation gestures and issue control commands. This paper, with 17 citations, demonstrates her focus on practical, user-centered assistive robotics. Dr. Wang also developed Web-enabled software solutions for robot design and dynamic control simulation, integrating Mathematica and Matlab to streamline task-point-based programming. More recently, she created the Collective Intelligence Research Tool (CIRT), an experimental platform that simulates self-organized systems like social insects, offering an inexpensive and efficient alternative for studying swarm behavior. Her work spans from direct human-robot interaction to abstract collective intelligence, showcasing versatility in both hardware and software research. Dr. Wang’s contributions are particularly valuable for students and researchers interested in assistive robotics, bio-signal processing, and swarm intelligence.
