About

Lei Xiong is pioneering the fusion of non-destructive testing (NDT) with autonomous robotics, with a core focus on Eddy Current Testing (ECT) and real-time embedded systems. Their landmark work, "EddyBot," introduces a groundbreaking mobile robot that integrates a multi-channel FPGA-based ECT scanner, enabling autonomous inspection of conductive materials. This innovation uniquely combines advanced signal processing with precise robotics control, allowing for efficient, real-time data acquisition and defect detection without human intervention. By embedding sophisticated hardware acceleration directly into a mobile platform, Xiong’s contributions push the boundaries of automated structural health monitoring, offering a scalable solution for industries like aerospace and manufacturing. With 2 citations to date, this early-career achievement signals strong potential for future impact in the field of intelligent sensing and robotics. Xiong’s work stands out for its interdisciplinary approach, merging hardware design, signal processing, and autonomous navigation to solve critical challenges in infrastructure safety.
