About

Tan Yee Yin is a robotics researcher specializing in underwater legged locomotion and reconfigurable robotic systems. Her work focuses on the design and control of multi-legged robots for seabed exploration, addressing the unique challenges of buoyancy, stability, and adaptability in aquatic environments. She introduced an integrated impedance-fuzzy logic approach to manage buoyancy effects on hexapod robots walking on the seabed, a key contribution that enhances horizontal stability and locomotion control (9 citations). Yee Yin also developed the Hexaquad robot, a pioneering reconfigurable platform that transforms between hexapod and quadruped configurations, enabling legs to serve as grippers for underwater manipulation tasks (8 citations). Her research on Hexa-Quad transformation techniques optimizes leg reconfiguration flexibility, allowing robots to adapt to complex tasks by disabling certain legs for alternative operations (4 citations). Through these innovations, Yee Yin advances the field of reconfigurable robotics, offering practical solutions for riverbed and seabed exploration, underwater maintenance, and environmental monitoring. Her work is foundational for engineers and researchers developing versatile, resilient robots for challenging underwater environments.
