About

Dehong Cong is a robotics researcher whose work spans path planning, navigation, and innovative robot design. His key research areas include mobile robot control, LiDAR navigation systems, and specialized robotic manipulators. Cong’s major contributions include developing a path planning and following method for omnidirectional mobile robots using B-spline curves, which offers smoother trajectories than conventional straight-line and arc approaches. He also designed a cost-effective LiDAR navigation system based on triangulation measurement, addressing issues of size, expense, and complexity in existing systems. In the realm of industrial robotics, Cong created a lightweight Delta robot platform aimed at reducing production costs for low-industrialization areas, and more recently, he developed AcArm, a novel semiconductor wafer handling robot for precision manufacturing. His most cited work, with 12 citations, demonstrates the practical impact of his B-spline path planning approach. Cong’s research is notable for its focus on bridging the gap between advanced robotics theory and real-world, cost-sensitive applications, making automation more accessible across different industries.
