About

Chih-Yung Cheng is a robotics and automation researcher whose work spans computer vision, motion planning, autonomous systems, and intelligent control. Over the course of his career, he has made notable contributions to the practical design and implementation of robotic systems, bridging theoretical foundations with real-world engineering challenges. Among his most recognized contributions is the development of a vision-based basketball shooting robot, which integrates computer vision techniques with control systems to enable autonomous target detection and mechanical actuation — a creative demonstration of applied robotics that has garnered 7 citations. Equally impactful is his work on path planning, where he introduced a near-optimal algorithm for the classical "piano mover's problem" on raster environments, offering an efficient solution for robot navigation among obstacles, also earning 7 citations. Cheng has further extended his expertise to service robotics, designing a remote monitoring cleaning robot that incorporates wireless networking, environmental sensing, and vision capabilities. His research also ventures into intelligent control theory, proposing a sum-of-squares (SOS)-based fuzzy controller for two-link robot arm tracking. Collectively, his body of work reflects a consistent commitment to making robotic systems smarter, more autonomous, and practically deployable across diverse real-world applications.
