About
Dr. Jiaqi Xu is a leading researcher in robotics and advanced actuator control, with a particular focus on pneumatic muscle actuators (PMAs) and parallel robotic systems. His most cited work, "Robust control of 3-DOF parallel robot driven by PMAs based on nominal stiffness model" (2017, 16 citations), addresses the fundamental challenge of controlling flexible, nonlinear actuators in complex robotic platforms. Dr. Xu developed an innovative approach to establish a nominal stiffness model for PMAs, enabling robust control of a 3-degree-of-freedom parallel robot. This contribution is significant because PMAs—soft, pneumatic actuators that mimic biological muscle—have inherently complex mathematical models, making precise control difficult. By introducing a robust controller based on stiffness modeling, Dr. Xu’s work bridges the gap between theoretical actuator dynamics and practical robotic applications. His research has direct implications for soft robotics, rehabilitation devices, and human-robot interaction, where compliant yet controllable actuation is critical. With 16 citations on this foundational paper, Dr. Xu’s work continues to influence engineers and researchers seeking to harness the potential of pneumatic artificial muscles in next-generation robotic systems.
