About

Hoa Van Phan is a researcher whose work bridges human-computer interaction and robotics, with a focus on gesture-based control systems. His most cited paper, "Wireless Data Glove for Gesture-Based Robotic Control" (2009), has garnered 23 citations and demonstrates his early contributions to intuitive, wearable technologies that translate human motion into robotic commands. This work highlights his interest in developing practical, low-cost interfaces for teleoperation and assistive robotics. Phan's research addresses key challenges in real-time gesture recognition, sensor integration, and wireless communication, aiming to make robotic control more accessible and natural for users. By combining hardware design with algorithmic processing, his studies have influenced subsequent work in human-robot interaction and wearable sensing. Though his citation count is modest, his foundational paper remains a reference point for researchers exploring data gloves and gesture-based interfaces, particularly in educational and prototyping contexts. Phan's contributions underscore the importance of user-centered design in robotics, offering a pathway for students and researchers interested in the intersection of biomechanics, electronics, and control systems.
