About

Dr. Jianlong Ni is a researcher advancing the frontiers of human-robot collaboration and intelligent manufacturing, with a focus on robotic polishing, lapping, and machining of complex industrial components. His work bridges the gap between manual craftsmanship and automated precision, particularly through the development of force feedback models and adaptive virtual fixtures that enable intuitive human-robot interaction. In his most-cited paper (2017, 8 citations), Dr. Ni introduced a novel force feedback model for virtual robot teaching of belt lapping, enhancing the ease and accuracy of programming robotic tasks. He further extended this work in 2025 with a study on human-robot collaborative programming for robotic polishing of impellers, integrating haptic interfaces to improve process control. Dr. Ni also contributed to integrated robotic measurement and machining technology for large castings, exemplified by his work on rear axle housing machining, where industrial robots offer a flexible, cost-effective alternative to manual labor or large specialized equipment. With a growing citation record, Dr. Ni’s research is paving the way for more adaptable, user-friendly robotic systems in manufacturing.
