About
Liuling Xu is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics, with a primary focus on human-robot interaction and assistive exoskeleton technologies. Her most cited work, "Measuring on Coupling Force between Lower Extremity Exoskeleton and Subject during Rehabilitation Training" (2011, 6 citations), makes a foundational contribution to the field by addressing a critical challenge: quantifying the active force exerted by a patient during robot-assisted therapy. Xu applied the Newton-Euler method to build dynamic models for both the powered exoskeleton and the human subject, then proposed a novel method to extract the subject's voluntary contribution from the total system forces. Based on this, she designed a dedicated mechanism for measuring the human-robot coupling force—a key enabler for adaptive, patient-driven rehabilitation. This work is notable for bridging theoretical dynamics with practical sensor design, directly supporting the shift from passive to active rehabilitation training. Though her citation count is modest, Xu's research addresses a fundamental bottleneck in exoskeleton control, laying essential groundwork for more responsive, safe, and effective assistive devices. Her contributions are particularly valuable for engineers and clinicians developing next-generation rehabilitation systems that prioritize patient engagement and recovery outcomes.
