About

Boo Cheong Khoo is a leading researcher in the fields of neurorobotics, assistive robotics, and bio-inspired robotic locomotion. His work focuses on reducing the cognitive burden of human-machine interfaces for prosthetic control, advancing autonomous navigation for legged robots, and improving the efficiency of flapping-wing aerial vehicles. Khoo’s most cited paper (2020, 27 citations) introduces a multimodal intention detection sensor suite for shared autonomy in upper-limb prostheses, addressing the critical challenge of excessive cognitive load during grasp control. He has also made significant contributions to quadruped robot navigation, developing a vision-based path planning and motion control system that integrates Model Predictive Control and Whole-Body Control for rough terrain traversal (2024, 5 citations). In the domain of bio-inspired robotics, Khoo has explored the mechanics of hovering ornithopters, analyzing spring and power dynamics to enhance endurance in larger flapping-wing robots (2024, 3 citations). Additionally, his work on subject-independent data pooling for gait intent classification using mechanomyography (2018, 2 citations) has advanced active lower-limb prosthetic control. Khoo’s interdisciplinary research bridges robotics, biomechanics, and control systems, with a clear impact on both assistive technologies and autonomous robotic platforms.
