About

Yong Liang Xiong is a robotics researcher whose work centers on autonomous navigation, human–robot interaction, and assistive technologies. His most-cited paper, “ROS-Based Indoor Autonomous Exploration and Navigation Wheelchair” (2017, 39 citations), addresses the critical challenge of making autonomous navigation systems more accessible and reusable. By developing a low-cost, ROS-based platform for indoor wheelchairs, Xiong demonstrated how open-source software can democratize assistive robotics, enabling independent mobility for individuals with disabilities. This work not only reduces the financial and technical barriers to deploying autonomous systems but also provides a modular framework that other researchers can adapt and extend. Beyond this flagship contribution, Xiong’s research explores sensor fusion, path planning, and real-time control, with a focus on practical, user-centered solutions. His achievements reflect a commitment to bridging the gap between advanced robotics research and real-world applications, particularly in healthcare and accessibility. With a growing citation record and a reputation for reproducible, cost-effective designs, Xiong is recognized as a rising voice in the field of service robotics, inspiring both students and practitioners to pursue inclusive, open-source approaches to autonomous systems.
