About
Ying Hong Pheh is a researcher advancing the safe integration of small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) into indoor environments, with a primary focus on human–robot interaction and aerial robotics. Their most notable contribution is the development of the **Spherical Indoor Coandă Effect Drone (SpICED)**—a novel spherical blimp sUAS designed to eliminate the safety risks posed by conventional multicopters in close proximity to humans. By leveraging the Coandă effect for propulsion, this innovative platform replaces fast-spinning rotors with a safer, enclosed design, enabling reliable indoor flight without the need for protective cages or strict operational buffers. This work, published in 2022 and garnering 6 citations, addresses a critical gap in deploying drones for tasks like environmental monitoring, inspection, or assistive robotics within shared human spaces. Pheh’s research underscores a commitment to rethinking drone architecture for real-world, human-centric applications, making strides toward practical and safe indoor sUAS deployment. Their contributions are particularly relevant for researchers exploring collision-tolerant designs, bio-inspired propulsion, and the future of close-proximity aerial robotics.
