About

Dr. Zichen Kong is a leading researcher in assistive robotics and human-computer interaction, with a focused expertise in developing non-invasive control systems for individuals with severe motor impairments. Their most impactful work, the "Eye-tracking-based robotic arm control system" (2022), has garnered 5 citations and represents a significant breakthrough in accessible technology. This user-centered design enables people with severe speech and motor impairments—who cannot actively use their muscles—to communicate with and manipulate their external environment through eye movements alone. By creating a robust, non-invasive interface that translates gaze into precise robotic arm commands, Dr. Kong directly addresses a critical gap in assistive technology, offering newfound independence to those with conditions like locked-in syndrome or advanced ALS. Their contributions bridge biomedical engineering and human-centered design, demonstrating how intuitive control systems can transform quality of life. Dr. Kong’s work stands as a vital step toward more inclusive, responsive robotic aids, making them a notable figure in the field of assistive robotics.
