About
Shenglin Mu is a robotics researcher whose work spans assistive robotics, autonomous mobile systems, and human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on improving quality of life for individuals with physical disabilities. Mu's most recognized contribution is the development of meal-assistance robots utilizing ultrasonic motors (USMs) — a design choice that makes the systems safe for users with pacemakers by eliminating electromagnetic field generation. The eye-interface-controlled meal robot, first introduced in 2011 and refined by 2014, represents a flagship achievement, accumulating over 16 citations and demonstrating Mu's commitment to accessible, user-centered engineering. Beyond assistive feeding devices, Mu has extended this work into mobile robotics, developing user-following robots with stand-up assistance capabilities and avatar robots that enable long-term absent students to participate in classroom settings remotely. His contributions to autonomous navigation include an AKAZE-based visual odometry system for robot self-localization. More recently, Mu has explored agricultural automation through strawberry-harvesting robot development. Across roughly a decade of publishing, his research consistently bridges human needs with practical robotic solutions, reflecting a career dedicated to socially impactful robotics engineering.
