About
Lihua Tang is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of smart materials, robotics, and biomedical engineering, with a focus on energy harvesting and rehabilitation technologies. His most impactful work, "Towards self-powered technique in underwater robots via a high-efficiency electromagnetic transducer with circularly abrupt magnetic flux density change" (2021, 69 citations), introduces a novel approach to powering autonomous underwater vehicles, addressing a critical bottleneck in marine robotics. Tang’s contributions to rehabilitation robotics are equally significant; he developed an industrial robot-based system for bilateral exercises (2019, 23 citations) that enables precise, task-based therapy for stroke patients, moving beyond traditional manual methods. His research on muscle activation patterns during robot-assisted training (2018, 8 citations) and biological signal-based evaluators (2019, 10 citations) provides foundational insights into how robotic systems can enhance neurorehabilitation. Tang also explores the dynamics of flexible multi-stable origami with bio-inspired creases (2025, 5 citations), pushing the boundaries of adaptive structures. With a career spanning from early work on smart materials to cutting-edge self-powered systems, Tang’s research has garnered over 100 citations, demonstrating its influence on both fundamental science and practical applications in robotics and healthcare.
