About
Peter Choong is a multidisciplinary researcher whose work spans soft robotics, prosthetics, tactile sensing, and orthopaedic surgery. His most celebrated contributions lie in the development of 3D-printed soft robotic prosthetic hands, including pioneering designs tailored specifically for children with upper limb loss — a technically demanding challenge given the constraints of miniaturization and cost. His 2020 paper on multi-articulating soft robotic prostheses has garnered 177 citations, reflecting its significant influence on the field. Choong has also advanced wearable rehabilitation technology through the Flexo-Glove, a soft exoskeleton designed to assist patients with impaired hand function (56 citations), and developed innovative tactile sensing systems using magnetic and metamaterial-based approaches that enable nuanced force detection across multiple ranges. His work on tactile-based blind grasping further demonstrates his commitment to robust, sensor-driven robotic manipulation. Beyond robotics, Choong has contributed to orthopaedic research, including a widely cited meta-analysis on kinematic versus mechanical alignment in knee surgery. His broader impact is evidenced by contributions to the Bone and Joint Decade initiative. Altogether, Choong's research uniquely bridges clinical medicine and advanced engineering to improve human mobility and quality of life.
