About

Xudong Pan is a leading researcher at the intersection of virtual reality (VR), digital twin technology, and engineering education. His work focuses on transforming how students learn complex mechanical systems by bridging the gap between digital simulation and physical practice. Pan’s most cited paper, "Virtual Assembly of Educational Robot Parts Based on VR Technology" (2019, 6 citations), pioneers the use of immersive VR environments to solve the time-consuming challenge of assembling robotic components in traditional teaching settings. This work has laid the groundwork for more accessible, hands-on learning in intelligent manufacturing. Building on this, his 2022 study "Based on the Software RioD of Digital Twins of the Practice Teaching Research" (2 citations) introduces a dual-reality approach at Harbin University of Technology’s Engineering Innovation Practice Center. By integrating the RioD digital twin software into engineering training, Pan enables students to experiment with virtual models that mirror real-world behavior, enhancing both safety and comprehension. Though early in citation impact, his contributions are shaping the future of experiential learning, making complex engineering concepts tangible through cutting-edge digital tools.
