About
Dr. Kerui Xia is a leading researcher in mobile robotics, with a primary focus on the control and navigation of wheeled mobile robots and manipulators in challenging, unstructured environments. His work is critical for advancing autonomous systems in off-road, planetary exploration, and disaster-response scenarios. Dr. Xia’s major contributions lie in developing adaptive control strategies that account for complex physical phenomena like unknown wheel slippage and deformable rough terrain, which are often ignored in standard models. His most cited work, "Adaptive motion control of wheeled mobile robot with unknown slippage" (69 citations), provides a foundational framework for maintaining accurate trajectory in slippery conditions. He has also made significant strides in autonomous door-opening for rescue robots, a task requiring precise estimation of unknown geometrical constraints and energy optimization. With over 200 total citations across his top papers, Dr. Xia’s research is highly influential. Notable achievements include his work on trajectory tracking control using fuzzy neural networks and extended Kalman filtering, as well as the development of a virtual torque sensor for rescue robots, demonstrating his commitment to practical, sensor-efficient solutions for real-world robotic applications.
