About
Kristor Leong is a roboticist focused on autonomous systems for urban maintenance, specializing in self-reconfigurable pavement-sweeping robots. His research integrates navigation, perception, and human-robot interaction to tackle the challenges of outdoor unstructured environments. Leong’s major contributions include developing an anti-collision static rotation local planner for four-independent steering drive robots, enabling safe maneuvering in constrained spaces. He also pioneered a multi-objective instantaneous center of rotation optimization method that uses sensor feedback to navigate sharp corners and varying pavement widths. His work on deep learning-based litter identification allows robots to adaptively adjust cleaning power, while his multi-layer fuzzy logic framework for shared autonomy ensures safe teleoperation. With over 30 citations across his most-cited papers—all published in 2022—Leong’s research demonstrates practical impact in automating labor-intensive cleaning tasks. Notably, his iterative design methodology, illustrated through reconfigurable robot case studies, offers valuable insights for engineering development processes. Leong’s contributions advance the frontier of autonomous outdoor robotics, making pavement cleaning safer, more efficient, and less reliant on human labor.
