About

Ong Tian-Qiong is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on practical automation solutions for infrastructure maintenance, particularly in water management systems. His most notable contribution is the development of a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV)-based water tank cleaning robot, a pioneering innovation that addresses the critical need for clean water supply. By automating the removal of sediment that accumulates in water storage tanks—a process essential for preventing water quality deterioration—his work directly impacts public health and sanitation. This flagship project, published in 2015 and garnering 5 citations, demonstrates his commitment to creating tangible, real-world applications for robotics. Beyond this, his research explores the intersection of mechanical design, control systems, and environmental engineering, aiming to reduce human labor in hazardous or confined spaces. While his citation count reflects a focused, early-career impact, his work stands out for its immediate societal relevance, offering a scalable solution to a global water quality challenge. Ong Tian-Qiong’s contributions exemplify how robotics can solve everyday problems, making him a researcher to watch in the field of service and maintenance automation.
