Intro

I am an Assistant Professor (ZJU 100 Young Professor) at the Institute of Advanced Machines, Zhejiang University. I received my PhD in Mechatronic Engineering at Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China, advised by Prof. Geng Yang. I was also a visiting Ph.D. student with Division of Information Science and Engineering at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden, advised by Dr. Zhibo Pang. I worked as a guest researcher for one year in the Lab of Intelligent Communication & Robotics with Prof. Alf Isaksson at ABB Corporate Research Center, Vasteras, Sweden.

My research interests lie in Robot teleoperation, Dual-arm Manipulation, Human–robot Intelligent Interface, Wireless Robot. My research goal is to develop a robust robotic system that can reproduce the operators' operation intention.

Robot Systems

Teloperated Dual-arm YuMi Robot

If you want to know more about the human-robot motion mapping details, feel free to contact me. Here, we propose GuLiM, a new dexterous teleoperation system to transfer the upper-limb motion from the human to the robot. On the left, we show our hardware setup with the initial motion capture device with the YuMi robot.

Teloperated Dual-arm Robot used in Isolation Ward

This telerobotic system combines the strengths of healthcare workers (expert knowledge for patient care) with the strengths of robotics (social distancing and capabilities to work in hazardous environments) to give the best outcome to patients and healthcare workers. Implementation of the robot in the battle against COVID-19 has obtained positive feedback from healthcare workers for its potential in blocking infection and effectiveness in relieving medical workers from repeated tasks.

Teloperated Dual-arm Kinova Robot with Wheeled-Chassis

Here, an anthropomorphic dual-arm mobile robot named Herdsman for in-house grasping tasks is proposed. Inspired by the human behavior to grasp the object, an articulated torso is designed to perform human-like reaching motions. Additionally, an anthropomorphic reaching grasping movement generating method is proposed to achieve the task adaptability. The aim of this work is to enhance the capabilities and usefulness of service robots, increase the range of tasks that robots can perform, and improve their overall utility and effectiveness in home environments.

Homecare Robot that can Carry and Assist People

We integrated the design of a nursing-care assistant robot for aged-care at home that can not only carry people similar to a wheelchair, but also grasp the target object. The user can sit on the seat part in front of the nursing cooperative robot, and the dual manipulator makes corresponding nursing actions behind the user such as assisting in helping the user get up from the seat, fetching the target object, and so on.

Collaborative works for safe human-robot interaction

During my PhD, I collaborated with my colleagues to build various verification robot platforms to test their self-developed robot skin for safe HRI.

In this work, a prototype was built by the self-designed mechanical structure and data processing program based on LabVIEW, which has been tested successfully. I am in charge of designing the hardware circuit and programming the whole LabVIEW codes. Compared with most of the current brake friction test bench, it has the outstanding advantages and application significance, such as convenient installation, strong portability, greatly reduced cost, small and portable volume, strong field application ability, easy data acquisition.
