About

Tse Nga Ng is a leading researcher at the intersection of soft robotics, wearable sensors, and human-machine interfaces. Her work focuses on developing intelligent, multifunctional systems that bridge the gap between sensing and actuation for real-world applications. Ng’s most impactful contribution is the creation of point-of-use robotic sensors, as demonstrated in her 2018 paper (56 citations), which integrates pressure detection and chemical analysis onto a single, disposable glove platform. This innovation enables simultaneous tactile sensing and pesticide detection, paving the way for safer agricultural and industrial robotics. She has also advanced soft robotics with her 2021 study (19 citations), where functionally graded elastomeric actuators allowed robots to carry up to 22 times their body weight—a biomimetic breakthrough for untethered, high-load transportation. In healthcare, Ng addresses critical needs in neuromuscular assessment, developing instrumented bimodal gloves that mitigate sensor artifacts for objective spasticity evaluation (2020, 7 citations). Her work uniquely combines materials science, sensor design, and biomechanics, earning recognition for its translational potential. With a growing citation record, Ng is shaping the future of adaptive, sensor-rich robotic systems that interact seamlessly with humans and their environment.
