About

Ligang Qiang is a researcher at the forefront of robotics and biomechanics, with key contributions spanning exoskeleton design, human locomotion analysis, and remote handling systems for extreme environments. His work on "Effects of Backpack Loads on Leg Muscle Activation during Slope Walking" (2020, 23 citations) provides critical insights into musculoskeletal injury prevention for hikers and soldiers, revealing how slope walking amplifies leg extensor muscle activity under load. Qiang has also advanced assistive robotics, designing an electric shoulder joint harmonic reducer for lifting exoskeletons (2021, 7 citations) that achieves high torque output with a compact reduction ratio. In nuclear fusion maintenance, he developed a Tokamak O&M robot (2024, 3 citations) using optimized FABRIK algorithms and digital twin systems for real-time kinematic solving in complex toroidal chambers. His electro-hydraulic mix-drive cantilever arm platform (2024, 2 citations) further enables general remote handling research for tokamaks. Additionally, his work on palletizing robots (2022, 2 citations) addresses multi-axis synchronous control for personalized object packaging. With a growing citation impact and applications from rehabilitation to fusion energy, Qiang’s interdisciplinary research bridges human biomechanics and autonomous robotic systems.
