About

Teo Chee Leong is a prominent robotics and rehabilitation engineering researcher whose work centers on the design and development of robotic systems for post-stroke motor recovery, particularly focused on restoring hand and finger function. Working at the intersection of biomechanics, haptics, and assistive technology, Teo has made significant contributions to the field of robot-assisted rehabilitation through the creation of innovative devices that enable precise force control and movement training for stroke survivors. His most impactful contribution, HandCARE — a Cable-Actuated Rehabilitation system — has garnered over 230 citations, establishing it as a landmark development in finger rehabilitation robotics. Alongside this, his work on the Haptic Knob, a two-degree-of-freedom device for training grasping and wrist function, further demonstrates his versatile engineering approach to restoring activities of daily living. His research progressively evolved toward more compact and accessible solutions, culminating in devices like reachMAN2 and the portable Ambidexter system, reflecting a commitment to translating laboratory innovations into practical home-based therapies. With a publication record spanning over a decade and citations exceeding 360, Teo's work has meaningfully shaped how clinicians and engineers approach upper-limb stroke rehabilitation worldwide.
