About

Loi Wei Sen is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on advancing human-robot interaction and underwater manipulation systems. His most notable contribution lies in the development of an innovative gesture-controlled robotic arm for underwater environments, as detailed in his highly cited 2015 paper, "Leap Motion Underwater Robotic Arm Control." This research pioneered the use of a Leap Motion controller to intuitively operate a robotic arm attached to a Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicle (ROV), enabling precise pick-and-place tasks in challenging subsea conditions. By integrating novel control algorithms with gesture-based interfaces, Sen addressed critical challenges in underwater robotics, such as dexterity and operator fatigue. His work has garnered attention within the robotics community, with his key paper accumulating citations that underscore its influence on subsequent underwater manipulation studies. Sen’s achievements demonstrate a unique fusion of human-computer interaction and marine robotics, offering practical solutions for offshore industries, underwater exploration, and environmental monitoring. His research continues to inspire new approaches to intuitive control systems in extreme environments.
