About
Ming‐Chang Shih is a pioneering researcher in the intersection of pneumatic robotics and intelligent control systems, with a career spanning from precision motion control to modern automation. His foundational work on fuzzy PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control for pneumatic robot cylinders, published in 1997 and cited 26 times, revolutionized cost-effective actuation by replacing expensive servo valves with three high-speed solenoid valves. This innovation introduced a modified differential PWM method that eliminated dead zones, enabling precise linear and rotational positioning—a critical advancement for industrial robotics on a budget. More recently, Shih has ventured into Robotic Process Automation (RPA), demonstrating how AI and machine learning can enhance commercial production efficiency. His 2023 paper on RPA agents highlights the scalability and high cost-performance ratio of software-based automation, bridging his earlier hardware expertise with cutting-edge software solutions. With a career that marries practical engineering with theoretical control design, Shih’s work remains influential for researchers seeking affordable, intelligent automation in both physical and digital domains.
