About

Dr. Phey Sia Kwek is a pioneering researcher in the integration of mobile computing and autonomous robotics, with a primary focus on wireless device control for robotic navigation systems. Her most-cited work, "Development of a wireless device control based mobile robot navigation system" (2012), has garnered 7 citations and represents a foundational contribution to the field of human-robot interaction. In this seminal paper, Dr. Kwek demonstrated how tablets and mobile devices could serve as highly functional, location-independent platforms for remotely controlling robots, effectively merging the flexibility of consumer electronics with robotic autonomy. Her research addresses the critical challenge of enabling intuitive, accessible control interfaces that free operators from physical proximity constraints. By pioneering the use of mobile devices as control hubs, Dr. Kwek's work has helped pave the way for modern teleoperation systems used in everything from industrial automation to assistive robotics. Her contributions are particularly notable for anticipating the current trend toward ubiquitous mobile-robot integration, making her a key figure in the evolution of wireless robotic control systems.
