About
Raymond Wai Man Ng is a robotics researcher whose work centers on underactuated systems, robot locomotion, and safety in dynamic environments. His primary research areas include inertial appendage control—using tails and reaction wheels—for spatial reorientation during falls, as well as the development of accessible robotic platforms for education. Ng’s major contribution lies in demonstrating how underactuated robots can leverage simple mechanical components to regain stability and maneuverability when airborne, a critical capability for enhancing robot mobility and preventing damage. His 2023 paper on combining tail and reaction wheel control with quadratic programming has garnered 10 citations, reflecting growing interest in this approach for safer, more agile robots. Additionally, Ng co-developed a portable hybrid Pendubot-Acrobot platform, published in 2021, designed to make underactuated robotics more accessible for hands-on learning both on and off campus. This work addresses a key barrier in robotics education by simplifying complex hardware and algorithms. Through these efforts, Ng is advancing both the theory and practical teaching of underactuated systems, contributing to safer, more versatile robots and more inclusive engineering education.
