About

Huiting Xu is a researcher focused on the reliability, resilience, and cost-effective maintenance of complex industrial systems, with a particular emphasis on robotic and automated environments. Her work bridges theoretical modeling and practical engineering, addressing how systems can withstand and recover from disruptive shock events. In her highly cited 2023 paper, "Cost-based preventive maintenance of industrial robot system," Xu develops a framework that optimizes maintenance schedules by balancing operational costs against the risk of unexpected failures, a contribution that has garnered 26 citations for its direct applicability to manufacturing and automation. She further explores system robustness in "Reliability analysis and resilience measure of complex systems in shock events," where she models how performance degrades and recovers under repeated stresses, offering new metrics for resilience. By integrating cost analysis with reliability engineering, Xu provides actionable insights for industries seeking to minimize downtime and extend asset life. Her work is particularly relevant for students and practitioners in industrial engineering, operations research, and robotics, offering a clear path from theoretical risk assessment to real-world maintenance strategy.
