About
Liang-Yu Lu is a robotics researcher focused on rehabilitation and assistive technologies, with key contributions in mobile rehabilitation robots, pneumatic muscle actuators, and upper limb robotics. His most cited work, "Hardware Development and Safety Control Strategy Design for a Mobile Rehabilitation Robot" (2022, 15 citations), addresses a critical challenge in gait training: the limitations imposed by bodyweight unloading systems and manual therapist assistance. By developing a prototype with a novel safety controller, Lu enables more natural, full-range walking patterns for patients, enhancing rehabilitation outcomes. In "Design and Control of 6-DOF Robotic Manipulator Driven by Pneumatic Muscles and Motor" (2021, 4 citations), he explores hybrid actuation systems combining pneumatic muscle actuators (PMAs) with motors, leveraging PMAs’ unique reversible deformation for linear motion—a promising approach for safer, more compliant human-robot interaction. His latest work, "Dynamics analysis and simulation experiments of twist spring drive upper limb rehabilitation robot" (2024), extends his expertise to upper limb therapy. Lu’s research bridges mechanical design and control strategies, aiming to create intuitive, adaptive robots that support natural human movement, with potential to transform physical therapy and assistive robotics.
