U-Xuan TAN

Professor U-Xuan TAN is affiliated with the Sensing, Actuation, and Mechanism (SAM) Design Group within the Engineering Product Development (EPD) school at Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD). His research focuses on Robotics & Automation, Mechatronics, Localization & Mapping, and Sensing & Control systems. His work spans applications in medical robotics, 3D food printing, industrial IoT, and human-robot interaction. He leads a dynamic research group, evidenced by frequent group photos (e.g., 2017/2019) and ongoing projects involving multi-robot systems.

Notable contributions include advancements in UWB-based localization, neural network-driven vibration compensation, and autonomous medical service robots like ARIS 1.0. His team has developed systems for precision tasks such as kidney stone treatment and high-rise glass cleaning. Over 40 publications since 2018 demonstrate expertise in robotics algorithms, sensor fusion, and AI-driven solutions across healthcare, manufacturing, and environmental domains.

Current openings include Post-Doctorate Fellowships and Research Assistant roles in robotics. PhD scholarships are available for candidates with project/publication portfolios.
