About
Fan Zheng is a robotics researcher whose work spans wireless power transfer, bio-inspired locomotion, and medical robotics. His key contributions include developing a wireless charging system for substation inspection robots that uses parameter estimation to eliminate the need for communication channels, achieving 23 citations since 2023. In the domain of mobile robotics, he designed RHop, a single-actuator continuous hopping robot using a geared symmetric multi-bar mechanism (19 citations), demonstrating efficient locomotion for unstructured terrain. Zheng also made notable advances in surgical robotics by solving the time-varying inverse kinematics problem for the Da Vinci surgical robot through a quasi-analytic approach combining dialytic elimination and Newton iteration (17 citations). Additionally, his work on body topology recognition and gait detection using nine-axial inertial measurement units (14 citations) addresses the challenge of adaptive positioning algorithms for wearable sensors. With a portfolio of highly cited papers, Zheng’s research demonstrates a strong focus on practical, real-world applications—from autonomous inspection to medical assistance—making significant impacts in both industrial and clinical settings.
