About

Jianquan Sun is a pioneering roboticist whose work spans rehabilitation, inspection, and rescue robotics. His primary research areas include wearable exoskeletons for medical rehabilitation, climbing robots for flexible surfaces, and specialized inspection robots for hazardous nuclear environments. Sun's most impactful contribution is the development of AutoLEE-II, a self-balancing exoskeleton that enables patients to perform multiple rehabilitation movements without crutches—a breakthrough that has garnered 32 citations since 2024. He also created Clothbot, an innovative robot capable of climbing flexible fabrics using a novel wheel-based gripper and omni-directional tail, which has been cited 27 times. In nuclear safety, Sun designed a steam generator inspection robot with self-localization capabilities, addressing critical maintenance needs in power stations. His work on lumbar-support exoskeletons for mixed lifting tasks further demonstrates his commitment to practical, human-centered robotics. With over 100 total citations, Sun's research consistently bridges biomimetic design and real-world application, making him a leading figure in both medical and industrial robotics.
