About
Hong Yee Low is a leading researcher at the intersection of bio-inspired robotics and advanced materials, whose work has fundamentally advanced the design of dry adhesive systems and miniature climbing robots. Her primary research areas include bio-inspired dry adhesives, micro-nanoscale hierarchical structures, and autonomous climbing robotics. Low’s major contributions include the development of gecko-inspired dry adhesives based on micro-nanoscale hierarchical arrays, which enable robust adhesion on various surfaces without chemical bonding—a breakthrough for climbing devices. Her most cited paper (100 citations) details this innovation, while her state-of-the-art review (33 citations) provides critical design guidelines for durable synthetic adhesives. Low also pioneered the ORION-II miniature climbing robot (15 citations), integrating bilayer compliant tapes for autonomous surveillance and reconnaissance. Her work on wheel-leg (wheg) robots with bilayer dry adhesives (26 citations) addresses the challenge of plane-to-plane transitioning, a key hurdle in climbing robotics. With over 200 total citations, Low’s research has significant implications for search-and-rescue, inspection, and military applications, establishing her as a pivotal figure in bio-inspired engineering and microrobotics.
