About
Fuquan Dai is a robotics engineer and researcher whose work spans mobile robotics, rehabilitation systems, and advanced control theory. He is best known for his contributions to self-balancing robotic platforms, particularly two-wheeled inverted pendulum (TWIP) robots, with his 2015 paper on friction compensation in such systems accumulating 65 citations and standing as his most influential work. Dai has made significant strides in equilibrium control, employing methodologies such as T-S fuzzy logic, sliding mode control, and dynamic adaptive strategies to tackle the inherently unstable, nonlinear nature of coaxial and two-wheeled robots. Beyond mobile platforms, his research extends into climbing robots designed for wind power tower inspection, incorporating gecko-inspired locomotion and strong magnetic unit designs to enable safe operation on conical surfaces. More recently, Dai has ventured into rehabilitation robotics, developing activity recognition systems that enable adaptive, assist-as-needed training strategies for lower limb rehabilitation, and applying hybrid axiomatic design methodologies to improve rehabilitation robot development. With over 150 cumulative citations across a diverse portfolio, Dai's work bridges fundamental control engineering with practical applications in industrial inspection and assistive healthcare technology.
