About
Haoran Wu is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on continuum robots, inverse kinematics, and manipulation in constrained environments. His major contributions include developing fast heuristic algorithms for continuum robot inverse kinematics, such as CRRIK (23 citations), and a novel obstacle avoidance heuristic based on FABRIK (14 citations). He has also advanced the systematic design of dual-segment continuum robots for in situ maintenance in nuclear power plants (13 citations), addressing the challenge of removing absorber balls through inspection ports to reduce maintenance cycles and costs. Beyond continuum robotics, Wu has explored pre-grasp manipulation of flat objects in cluttered environments using sliding primitives (6 citations), and soft growing robots that navigate unknown environments through obstacle interaction (4 citations). His work on geometric and piecewise constant curvature models for inverse kinematics further demonstrates his depth in solving complex robotic motion problems. With over 65 total citations, Wu’s research is impactful for applications in hazardous environments, maintenance, and autonomous manipulation.
