About

Dr. Kwan Ban-Hoe is a robotics researcher focused on accessible, low-cost hardware platforms for autonomous systems. His primary research areas include mobile robotics, 3D printing for robotic structures, and embedded sensor integration. His most notable contribution, the paper “3D Printed Differential Drive Robot with LiDAR and 3D Depth Camera” (2024), presents a fully 3D-printed mobile robot chassis designed for educational and research applications. By combining LiDAR and depth sensing with a simple differential drive mechanism, Dr. Ban-Hoe’s work demonstrates how additive manufacturing can dramatically lower the barrier to entry for robotics experimentation. The design emphasizes modularity, reproducibility, and affordability—key factors for classroom settings and open-source research communities. Although early in its citation impact, the paper has already garnered attention for its practical, hands-on approach to robot prototyping. Dr. Ban-Hoe’s achievement lies in bridging the gap between advanced sensing capabilities and accessible fabrication, enabling students and researchers to build functional robots without expensive machining or proprietary parts. His work represents a significant step toward democratizing robotics hardware, making it easier for newcomers to explore autonomous navigation and perception.
