About
Dr. Qifei Guan is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction, with a focused expertise in developing biomechanically intelligent care robots for elderly and disabled populations. His work centers on two critical, interconnected challenges: quantifying human comfort during physical human-robot contact and accurately modeling the complex dynamics of human-robot transfer tasks. Dr. Guan’s major contributions include establishing a novel framework that integrates human body pressure distribution and surface electromyographic (sEMG) signals to objectively assess comfort during dual-arm robot transfers, a field previously lacking quantifiable biomechanical standards. He further advanced the field by creating a human-robot mechanics model that identifies hip torque during nursing-care transfers, enabling more natural and safer robotic assistance. While his most-cited work (2023) has garnered 10 citations, signaling growing recognition, his 2024 paper on torque identification represents a critical step toward reducing caregiver physical strain. Dr. Guan’s research is notable for bridging the gap between subjective human experience and objective robotic control, directly addressing the pressing need for practical, comfortable, and effective assistive technologies in in-home and institutional care settings.
