About

Dr. Lihua Shen is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics and advanced control systems, with a focus on enhancing human-robot interaction for assistive technologies. Her work centers on the development of robust control strategies for exoskeletons, particularly those powered by pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs), which are critical for safe and effective rehabilitation. Shen’s most notable contribution is her 2023 paper, "Prescribed performance sliding mode control for the PAMs elbow exoskeleton in the tracking trajectory task," which has garnered 3 citations. In this study, she introduced a novel prescribed performance sliding mode control method that ensures tracking errors converge within predefined boundaries, even under bounded disturbances—a significant advancement for precise trajectory tracking in elbow exoskeletons. This work addresses key challenges in rehabilitation, such as maintaining stability and safety during patient-assisted movements. Shen’s research has practical implications for improving motor recovery in stroke and injury patients, and her innovative control techniques are paving the way for more adaptive and reliable exoskeleton systems. With a growing citation impact, she is establishing herself as a rising authority in the intersection of control theory and biomedical engineering.
