About

Mingwei Zhong is a researcher at the forefront of rehabilitation robotics, specializing in intelligent control systems and human–machine interaction for assistive technologies. His primary research focuses on developing portable, cost-effective rehabilitation devices that leverage surface electromyography (sEMG) signals to restore motor function in patients with limb impairments. Zhong’s major contributions include the design of an active triggering control system for pneumatic rehabilitation gloves, which uses sEMG to initiate hand movements—a breakthrough for patients with hand dysfunction. This work, published in 2021, has garnered 13 citations for its practical, low-cost approach. More recently, in 2024, Zhong advanced the field by proposing a method to identify coordinated movement intentions for both upper and lower limbs using sEMG, addressing a critical gap in rehabilitation robotics. With 7 citations, this research challenges the traditional separation of limb-specific devices, paving the way for holistic rehabilitation. Zhong’s work is notable for its emphasis on affordability and portability, making cutting-edge therapy accessible to a broader population. His innovative integration of biosignal processing and robotic control positions him as a rising voice in neurorehabilitation engineering.
