About

Binfu Zhong is a researcher in robotics and human-robot interaction, with a primary focus on the design and control of humanoid systems for cultural and therapeutic applications. Their most notable contribution is the development of a humanoid dance robot specifically programmed to perform Baduanjin, a traditional Chinese health exercise. This work, published in 2022, details a 16-servo-motor humanoid platform controlled by an STM32 microcontroller and dual-mode Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE+EDR), enabling precise spatial positioning and attitude control at specified times. While the paper has garnered 2 citations to date, it represents an innovative intersection of robotics, traditional wellness practices, and human-robot choreography. Zhong’s research demonstrates how engineering can preserve and promote cultural heritage through embodied AI systems. Their work is particularly relevant for students and researchers interested in low-cost humanoid platforms, real-time motion control, and socially assistive robotics. By programming complex, culturally significant movement sequences, Zhong advances the field of expressive robotics, showing how humanoid robots can serve as tools for education, rehabilitation, and cultural transmission.
