About

Bing Sheng Chong is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, bioengineering, and urban search and rescue (USAR). His work focuses on developing insect–computer hybrid systems—a revolutionary approach that combines living insects with miniature electronic backpacks to create agile, low-power robots capable of navigating complex disaster environments. Chong’s major contribution is demonstrating that cyborg insects can autonomously perform obstacle negotiation and onboard human detection, overcoming the size and power constraints that limit traditional mini-robots. His most-cited paper (2023, 59 citations) showcases a hybrid robot that installs innate insect locomotion with artificial control, while his earlier work (2021, 13 citations) laid the foundation for autonomous search-and-rescue missions. With a total of 77 citations across his top papers, Chong’s research has significant impact, offering a scalable, energy-efficient solution for locating victims in rubble. His achievements include proving that insect-computer fusion can achieve real-world autonomy, positioning him as a leader in bio-hybrid robotics for humanitarian applications.
