About
Wen Liang Yeoh is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction, specializing in wearable robotics, assistive technologies, and human motor adaptation. His work bridges the gap between how humans move and how machines can intelligently support that movement. Yeoh’s most cited paper (2020, 7 citations) investigates motor performance patterns during unilateral mechanical assistance versus bilateral muscle contraction, laying foundational insights into how the body responds to external forces. His 2024 study (5 citations) explores how control parameters in wearable robotics—specifically the aggressiveness of predictive trajectory tracking—affect muscle activity during assisted elbow flexion, a critical contribution to designing more intuitive exoskeletons. In related work (2023, 3 citations), he examines the motor characteristics of human adaptation to assistive forces, addressing the real-world usability of portable robotic exoskeletons. Beyond upper-limb assistance, Yeoh has developed smart navigation robots for the visually impaired (2025, 2 citations) and a person-following robotic walker with compliant-control arbitrated role-switching (2023, 2 citations), demonstrating a commitment to inclusive, practical assistive systems. His research, though early in its citation trajectory, is shaping the future of responsive, human-aware robotics.
