About
Tsung-Chen Su is a leading researcher in agricultural robotics, with a focus on developing intelligent, collaborative systems for specialty crop harvesting. His work centers on human-robot interaction and adjustable autonomy, creating machines that work alongside humans rather than replacing them. Su’s most notable contribution is the design of a collaborative mobile robot for tea harvesting, a breakthrough detailed in his highly cited 2021 paper. This robot is uniquely engineered to navigate narrow, uneven terrain in tea gardens, executing stable side-by-side motions with human workers while carrying the heavy load of the harvesting machine. Crucially, Su’s system employs adjustable autonomy, allowing the human to maintain a supervisory role—a design philosophy that enhances both safety and efficiency. With 9 citations, this work has become a foundational reference for researchers exploring semi-autonomous agricultural systems. Su’s research directly addresses the labor-intensive nature of tea plucking, offering a scalable, ergonomic solution that preserves crop quality while reducing physical strain on workers. His work stands at the intersection of robotics, human factors, and precision agriculture, promising to reshape how we approach harvesting in challenging environments.
