About

Jirui Fu is a robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of wearable assistive technologies and multi-robot cooperative control. Their primary research areas include myoelectric control systems for upper limb exoskeletons and exosuits, cable-driven wearable robots, and model predictive control for cooperative mobile robots. Fu’s most impactful contribution is a comprehensive systematic review on myoelectric control systems for upper limb wearable robotic exoskeletons and exosuits, which has garnered 60 citations since 2022. This work provides a critical synthesis of how electromyographic signals can be used to restore motor functions in individuals with disabilities and augment human performance in able-bodied users. Fu has also designed a bilateral six-degree-of-freedom cable-driven upper body exosuit, a notable achievement in bimanual task assistance with multiple controlled degrees of freedom—an area where few devices have succeeded. More recently, Fu developed a constrained model predictive controller for two cooperative tripod mobile robots, enabling them to transport objects along predefined trajectories despite external disturbances. This work demonstrates Fu’s versatility across both human-centered robotics and autonomous multi-robot systems. With a growing citation record and contributions spanning systematic reviews to novel hardware and control algorithms, Fu is establishing themselves as a researcher capable of bridging fundamental control theory with practical assistive robotics applications.
