About
Canjun Yang is a leading researcher in robotics, specializing in human–machine cooperation, underwater robotics, and wearable exoskeletons. His work bridges the gap between autonomous systems and human control, with major contributions to shared control strategies for manipulators and cooperative human–robot frameworks. Yang’s highly cited review on human–machine cooperation (117 citations) has become a foundational reference in the field. He has also advanced underwater robotics with innovative designs, including a self-adapting pipe-cleaning robot (54 citations) and a fluid-driven soft dock for AUV recovery (42 citations). In exoskeleton research, Yang has developed portable hip exoskeletons that reduce muscle activity through human-in-the-loop optimization (24 citations) and reviewed robotic hip exoskeleton technologies (35 citations). His work on FastSLAM navigation (51 citations) and bionic robotic fish (31 citations) further demonstrates his versatility. Yang’s research has practical impacts on industrial maintenance, rehabilitation for spinal cord injury patients, and autonomous underwater vehicle operations. His achievements include pioneering adaptive mechanisms for variable-diameter pipe cleaning and gait planning methods for lower limb exoskeletons, making him a key figure in advancing human–robot collaboration and assistive robotics.
