About

Zhidong Lin is a leading researcher in human-robot interaction, with a focus on shared control systems for mobile assistive robotics. His work bridges the gap between autonomous robot capabilities and human intent, particularly for individuals with physical disabilities. Lin’s most influential contribution is his 2019 paper on a teleoperation framework for mobile robots using shared control, which has garnered 145 citations. In this work, he pioneered a hybrid method combining a six-degree-of-freedom haptic device with electromyography (EMG) signals, enabling intuitive, hands-on collaboration between human operators and omnidirectional mobile robots. This approach significantly enhances task efficiency and safety in dynamic environments. In a related 2019 study, Lin extended this concept to develop a teleoperated shared control system with haptic feedback specifically for mobile assistive robots, allowing users to command motion in any direction with greater precision and ease. By integrating multimodal sensory feedback and adaptive control, Lin’s research has advanced the practicality of assistive robotics, making them more responsive and accessible. His work is highly cited for its innovative fusion of haptics, biosignal processing, and shared autonomy, marking him as a key contributor to the future of human-centered robotics.
