About

Brendan Khoo is a robotics and intelligent systems researcher whose work sits at the intersection of medical technology, telemedicine, and mobile robotics. Based at the Robotics and Intelligent Systems (myRIS) Research Group at the University Malaysia Sabah, Khoo has dedicated his career to developing innovative robotic platforms that extend the reach of medical care into remote and emergency settings. His most influential contribution, "A Design Methodology of a Flexible Robotic Arm Vision System for OTOROB" (2010, 23 citations), pioneered the integration of real-time audiovisual systems with remote robotic platforms, advancing the field of tele-presence medicine. This work laid critical groundwork for enabling remote medical consultations and procedures through interactive robotic systems. Complementing this, his research on the Medical Tele-diagnosis Robot (MTR) further addressed the urgent challenge of delivering qualified medical assistance during emergencies, from road accidents to battlefield scenarios. Khoo also made notable contributions to mobile robotics locomotion, with his 2014 study on holonomic mobile robots (11 citations) improving motion stability and trajectory control for omnidirectional movement — capabilities essential for navigating complex medical environments. Collectively, his research demonstrates a meaningful commitment to making intelligent robotic systems more practical, responsive, and life-saving.
