About
Che Fai Yeong is a prominent researcher specializing in rehabilitation robotics, human-robot interaction, and autonomous mobile systems. His work has significantly advanced the development of affordable, portable robotic devices designed to support stroke rehabilitation and motor recovery. Yeong's most impactful contribution, a portable and reconfigurable wrist robot (2017, 53 citations), demonstrated that modular design principles could dramatically reduce the cost and size of rehabilitation technology, making it more accessible for widespread clinical deployment. His ReachMAN series of compact robots, designed to train reaching, pronosupination, and grasping with just three degrees of freedom, challenged the prevailing assumption that effective rehabilitation devices must be large and complex, opening pathways for home-based and decentralized therapy. His 2014 work on the CR2-Haptic device and novel haptic control algorithms further enriched the field by incorporating engaging, motivating training programs for stroke patients. Beyond rehabilitation, Yeong has broadened his research scope to address energy efficiency in autonomous mobile robots and socially aware navigation frameworks for service robots, reflecting a versatile and forward-thinking research portfolio with cumulative citations exceeding 260 across his leading publications.
