About

Ruiqing Han is a roboticist advancing autonomous systems for agriculture and assistive living. Their research centers on robotic manipulation, perception, and grasping, with key contributions in agricultural robotics and human-robot interaction. Han’s most cited work, "Development, integration, and field evaluation of an autonomous Agaricus bisporus picking robot" (2024, 18 citations), demonstrates a complete system for mushroom harvesting—integrating vision, planning, and grasping in real-world conditions. This work addresses labor shortages in agriculture by enabling precise, gentle picking of delicate crops. Han also innovates in interactive grasping with "Interactive Prompt‐Guided Robotic Grasping for Arbitrary Objects Based on Promptable Segment Anything Model and Force‐Closure Analysis" (2024, 3 citations), combining large vision models with force-closure analysis to let robots grasp unseen objects using natural language prompts—overcoming perception limits without costly pre-built models. In assistive robotics, "Optimization of Wheelchair-Mounted Robotic Arms’ Base Placement by Fusing Occupied Grid Map and Inverse Reachability Map" (2023, 2 citations) improves task efficiency for elderly users by optimizing arm placement in cluttered homes. Han’s work bridges perception, planning, and real-world deployment, with clear impact on agricultural automation and accessible robotic assistance.
