About
Chunguang Xu is a leading researcher in robotic non-destructive testing (NDT), with a particular focus on ultrasonic inspection systems for complex curved-surface components. His work sits at the intersection of industrial robotics, kinematics, and advanced materials quality assurance, addressing critical challenges in aerospace and manufacturing industries. Xu's most significant contributions center on the development of dual- and twin-robot ultrasonic testing systems capable of inspecting semi-enclosed and geometrically complex composite workpieces — problems that traditional NDT approaches struggle to solve. His 2019 paper on dual-robot ultrasonic testing of semi-enclosed workpieces (29 citations) remains his most impactful work, while his 2023 study on aero-engine blade inspection (23 citations) demonstrates the enduring relevance of his research to aerospace quality control. Earlier foundational work on inverse kinematics for 6-DOF robots in NDT applications (2015, 20 citations) helped establish the theoretical groundwork for robotic ultrasonic systems more broadly. Across his portfolio, Xu has tackled practical engineering challenges including tool centre point calibration, trajectory planning accuracy, offline path correction, and coordinated kinematic control. With over 140 cumulative citations, his body of work has meaningfully advanced the automation of precision inspection in high-stakes industrial environments.
