About

Yu Zheng Chong's research lies at the intersection of mobile robotics and rehabilitation engineering, with a primary focus on sensor technologies and assistive devices for human mobility. His most impactful work, "Sensor Technologies and Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM)" (2015), has garnered 88 citations, establishing him as a key contributor to the field of autonomous navigation. This comprehensive review critically examines sensor modalities—including acoustic, visual, and inertial systems—for solving the SLAM problem in mobile robots, providing a foundational resource for researchers developing robust perception systems for dynamic environments. In parallel, Chong has made significant contributions to rehabilitation robotics, particularly through the design of pneumatically-powered orthoses for gait recovery. His 2012 paper on an inexpensive pneumatically-assisted knee-ankle-foot orthosis (KAFO) for gait rehabilitation (18 citations) demonstrates his commitment to accessible, low-cost solutions for patients recovering from lower-limb impairments. Building on this, his work on power-assisted pneumatic KAFOs (10 citations) introduces McKibben artificial muscles to provide precise, stable motion during locomotion training. These contributions highlight his ability to bridge theoretical sensor research with practical, human-centered applications, advancing both autonomous systems and assistive technologies for improved quality of life.
