About

C.C. Ko is a pioneering figure in engineering education and remote experimentation, with a career dedicated to advancing web-based technologies for laboratory learning. His key research areas encompass telerobotics, Internet-based control systems, and innovative educational platforms. Ko’s most notable contribution is the development of a web-based remote experiment system controlled by a telerobot at the National University of Singapore, which allowed students and researchers to operate engineering instruments from anywhere in the world. This work, published in 2003, addressed the growing need for accessible, scalable laboratory environments by incorporating a queuing system for efficient user management. While his highly cited paper has garnered 4 citations, its impact lies in laying the groundwork for modern remote labs—a concept now integral to online STEM education. Ko’s achievements reflect a forward-thinking approach to democratizing access to experimental resources, bridging the gap between physical labs and virtual learning. His research continues to inspire educators and engineers seeking to integrate robotics and Internet technologies into practical, hands-on training.
