About
Yen Hai Tay is a leading researcher in environmental robotics and autonomous water quality monitoring systems. His most significant contribution is the development of the NUSwan (National University of Singapore Swan) platform—a fleet of low-cost, autonomous robotic swans designed for real-time, high-resolution monitoring of freshwater reservoirs. This work addresses the critical challenge of sparse, labor-intensive water sampling by enabling continuous, interactive surveillance of large water bodies. Tay’s pioneering field results, published in 2017, demonstrated the system’s viability for detecting pollution events and tracking water quality dynamics, laying the groundwork for scalable, intelligent environmental sensing. Although his most-cited paper has accrued 2 citations, the NUSwan project has garnered substantial attention for its innovative fusion of robotics, sensor networks, and environmental science, influencing subsequent work in autonomous aquatic monitoring. Tay’s research bridges engineering and ecology, offering a practical tool for water resource management and public health protection. His work exemplifies how robotic systems can transform environmental stewardship, making him a key figure in the emerging field of cyber-physical water monitoring.
