About
Dr. Mei Shuai is a pioneering roboticist whose work bridges humanoid locomotion and rehabilitative exoskeletons, with a profound impact on restoring mobility for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Her most influential contribution is the first multicenter clinical trial of China’s domestically designed powered exoskeleton (Ai-robot), demonstrating its safety and feasibility in 40 paraplegic subjects (32 citations). This translational work culminated in the deployment of assistive robots for the Beijing Winter Paralympic torch relay, showcasing accessible technologies that restore human functionality. Earlier foundational research established her expertise in bipedal locomotion, including proving asymptotic stability for five-link biped robots and developing parametric walking patterns for underactuated systems. She has also advanced control strategies for humanoid robots navigating uneven terrain, employing Kane collision theory for real-time stability regulation, and designed flexible foot systems for rough ground adaptation. Her work extends to medical robotics, with trajectory planning for 6-DoF orthopedic surgical manipulators. With over 90 total citations across two decades, Dr. Shuai’s career exemplifies a rare synthesis of theoretical rigor and clinical translation, directly improving quality of life for individuals with paralysis while advancing the frontiers of humanoid robotics.
