About
Boqian Fan’s research lies at the intersection of hydraulic power systems and robotic exoskeletons, with a focus on developing compact, high-performance actuation technologies that enhance human strength and mobility. His most cited work, “Development of a novel compact hydraulic power unit for the exoskeleton robot” (41 citations), addresses a critical challenge in wearable robotics: creating power sources that are both powerful and lightweight enough for practical use. Fan further advanced the field by introducing a novel multi-objective optimization method for pressurized reservoirs in hydraulic robotics, a key component that balances weight, size, fluid volume, and pressure to improve overall system performance. His use of virtual prototyping to simulate hydraulic exoskeleton dynamics has also contributed to more efficient design processes. By tackling the fundamental trade-offs in hydraulic actuation—power density, compactness, and control—Fan’s work has laid important groundwork for next-generation exoskeletons in applications ranging from disaster relief to rehabilitation. His contributions are particularly valuable for researchers seeking to bridge the gap between theoretical hydraulic design and real-world robotic performance.
