About

General Leung is a pioneering researcher in robotics and control systems, best known for his foundational work on teleoperation under time delay. His key research areas include bilateral teleoperation, robust control, and human-robot interaction. Leung’s most influential contribution is his 1995 paper on bilateral controllers for teleoperators with time delay via μ-synthesis, which has garnered 365 citations. This work addressed a critical challenge in teleoperation—instability caused by communication delays—by applying robust control theory to ensure stable force and velocity feedback between master and slave robots. His approach has had lasting impact on the design of remote surgical systems, underwater exploration robots, and space-based manipulators. Leung’s research is widely recognized for bridging theoretical control methods with practical robotic applications, making him a key figure in the development of reliable teleoperation systems. His work continues to influence modern telerobotics, particularly in scenarios requiring high precision and safety over long distances.
