About
Dr. Leong Yeng Weng is a robotics researcher whose work bridges autonomous navigation, soft robotics, and intelligent perception. His primary contributions lie in developing practical, cost-effective robotic systems for real-world applications. Notably, his 2020 paper on a collision avoidance system for multiple autonomous mobile robots (27 citations) adapts automotive safety principles to multi-robot coordination, improving real-time data sharing between agents. In the domain of assistive technology, Dr. Leong pioneered nylon-based artificial muscles for low-cost prosthetic limbs (10 citations), addressing the critical issue of affordability for young amputees who quickly outgrow expensive prosthetics. He further advanced this work by tackling the control challenges of non-linear artificial muscle actuators (4 citations). His research extends to domestic robotics through particle-based garment perception for folding tasks (8 citations), enabling home service robots to handle deformable objects. Most recently, his 2024 review on integrating IoT with robotic drones (6 citations) explores real-time data transmission for autonomous aerial systems. Dr. Leong’s work is characterized by a focus on accessibility—reducing costs while maintaining functionality—and by bridging gaps between autonomous systems, human-centric design, and intelligent control.
