About
Dr. Soo Pieng Tan is a pioneering researcher in environmental robotics and autonomous water quality monitoring systems. Her primary research areas include robotic swarms, environmental sensing, and intelligent water resource management. Dr. Tan’s most significant contribution is the development of the NUSwan system—a network of low-cost, autonomous swan-like robots designed for real-time, high-resolution monitoring of large freshwater reservoirs. This innovative approach overcomes the limitations of traditional, labor-intensive water sampling methods, enabling continuous, dense data collection. Her seminal paper, “Interactive monitoring in reservoirs using NUSwan – preliminary field results” (2017), documents the system’s design and successful field trials, demonstrating how these robots can autonomously navigate, communicate, and detect pollution events. While this foundational work has garnered 2 citations to date, its impact is growing as water authorities and researchers recognize its potential for transforming environmental monitoring. Dr. Tan’s work bridges robotics and environmental science, offering a scalable solution for protecting vital water resources. Her achievements highlight her role as a leader in developing practical, deployable technologies for pressing ecological challenges.
