About

Yueh-Ju Pu is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on vision-based navigation and telemedicine applications for mobile robots. Her most influential contribution, "Robust ground plane detection for obstacle avoidance of mobile robots using a monocular camera" (2010), has garnered 29 citations and presents a novel approach to obstacle detection using inverse perspective transformation (IPT) from a single camera. This work addresses a fundamental challenge in autonomous navigation: enabling robots to reliably estimate distances to obstacles without expensive sensors, making it highly relevant for cost-effective mobile robot platforms. Pu's research also extends to healthcare robotics, as demonstrated by her 2009 paper on an "Internet based remote supervisory system for Tele-medicine robot application" (6 citations), which tackles the pressing societal issue of aging populations and nursing shortages. By developing remote supervisory systems for telemedicine robots, she contributes to reducing nursing workload and improving elderly care. Pu's work bridges computer vision, autonomous navigation, and healthcare technology, demonstrating a commitment to practical, socially impactful robotics solutions that enhance both robot autonomy and human well-being.
