About
Yuxi Lu is a researcher advancing the field of soft robotics for rehabilitation, with a focus on creating safer, more effective assistive devices for hand function recovery. Their key research areas include soft actuator design, pneumatic artificial muscles, and simulation-to-reality (sim2real) transfer for robotic systems. Lu’s major contributions include the development of a dual-function joint modular soft actuator, evaluated using a novel dummy finger joint-soft actuator complex model, which addresses the challenge of ensuring soft actuators comply with human finger morphology. They have also optimized spring constants in pneumatic artificial muscle-driven antagonistic structures to improve control accuracy, and proposed the ImbalSim2Real scheme to tackle data imbalance when deploying simulation-trained models to real-world rehabilitation applications. With over 22 citations across their most-cited works, Lu’s research demonstrates tangible impact in bridging the gap between soft robotic design and practical clinical use. Their work on finite element modeling of spherical dummy joint-actuator complexes further provides essential tools for evaluating joint loads in soft rehabilitation gloves, contributing to the development of next-generation assistive technologies.
