About
Tan Kah Hooi is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the locomotion and stability of small-scale humanoid robots. His most cited paper, "A study of walking gait stability and gait efficiency of a cost-effective small humanoid bipedal robot: Analysis, simulation and implementation" (2017, 6 citations), makes a significant contribution by bridging theoretical analysis with practical implementation. In this work, Tan uses the open-source PLEN 2 platform to systematically investigate bipedal gait stability and efficiency, offering a replicable framework for researchers working with affordable humanoid systems. His approach—combining simulation, analysis, and real-world testing—provides valuable insights into the control systems that enable stable walking in compact robots. While his citation count is modest, Tan’s contribution is notable for its emphasis on cost-effective, accessible robotics, making advanced gait research more attainable for smaller labs and educational settings. His work lays a practical foundation for future studies in humanoid locomotion, particularly for those seeking to optimize both stability and energy efficiency in bipedal robots.
