About
Qi Xu is a pioneering researcher in biomedical engineering and rehabilitation robotics, with key contributions spanning wireless power transfer, wearable robotic systems, and motor design optimization. His most impactful work, "A Novel Mat-Based System for Position-Varying Wireless Power Transfer to Biomedical Implants" (76 citations), introduced a groundbreaking approach to transcutaneously power moving medical implants using magnetically resonant coupling—a technology that promises to eliminate the need for invasive battery replacements in devices like pacemakers and neural stimulators. Xu also made significant strides in rehabilitation technology, developing a wearable robotic hand driven by pneumatic artificial muscles and controlled via fuzzy PID algorithms (37 citations). This system, designed for stroke and traumatic brain injury survivors, enables intensive, task-oriented therapy that adapts to individual patient needs, addressing the critical demand for cost-effective, home-based rehabilitation. His integration of functional electrical stimulation with wearable robotics (11 citations) further advanced neurorehabilitation by combining mechanical assistance with neuromuscular activation. Beyond medical devices, Xu tackled industrial challenges by devising a tooth notching pairing technique to reduce cogging torque in permanent magnet motors (6 citations), enhancing efficiency in robotics and automation. With over 143 total citations across his top papers, Xu’s interdisciplinary work bridges healthcare and engineering, offering practical solutions for implantable devices, patient recovery, and precision machinery.
