About

Tiam Hee Tee is a pioneering researcher in the field of robotic olfaction and tele-robotic systems, with a particular focus on advancing odor plume tracking from two-dimensional to three-dimensional environments. His groundbreaking work challenges the limitations of traditional wheeled sniffer robots, which operate only on flat surfaces and fail to effectively track odor plumes that naturally disperse in 3D space. Tee's major contribution lies in developing the concept and sensory systems for quadrotor-based flying sniffer robots, enabling autonomous aerial odor detection and tracking. His most cited work, "An Airflow Analysis Study of Quadrotor Based Flying Sniffer Robot" (2014, 12 citations), establishes the foundational airflow dynamics for this novel approach. Complementing this, his research on olfactory sensory systems for odour plume sensing (2013, 7 citations) details the integration of chemical sensors with quadrotor platforms. Additionally, Tee has contributed to tele-robotics through his work on 3D smart user interactive systems with real-time proprioceptive feedback (2013, 6 citations), enhancing remote control precision for hazardous environment applications. His innovative fusion of aerial robotics and chemical sensing continues to inspire new directions in environmental monitoring and search-and-rescue operations.
