About

Dr. Kang Say Wee is a pioneering researcher in assistive robotics and human-machine interfaces, with a focus on developing technologies that restore independence to individuals with severe physical disabilities. His most cited work, "EOG based control of mobile assistive platforms for the severely disabled" (2005, 43 citations), introduced a groundbreaking system that translates electrooculographic (EOG) signals—generated by eye movements—into precise commands for controlling mobile robotic platforms. This innovation enables users with extremely limited peripheral mobility, yet intact eye motor coordination, to navigate assistive devices, dramatically improving their quality of life. Dr. Wee’s contributions lie at the intersection of biomedical engineering and robotics, demonstrating how low-cost, non-invasive biosignal processing can bridge the gap between human intent and machine action. His research has been instrumental in advancing accessible assistive technologies, earning recognition for its practical impact on rehabilitation and inclusive design. By prioritizing user-centered solutions, Dr. Wee continues to inspire new pathways in human-robot interaction, making technology more equitable for those with profound motor impairments.
