About
Qihan Hu is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of rehabilitation robotics, human-computer interaction, and neuroplasticity. Their work centers on developing intelligent therapeutic systems that integrate eye-tracking technology with gamified robotic rehabilitation to enhance motor recovery in patients with upper-limb impairments. Hu’s landmark paper, “Gaze and Go: Harnessing Visual Attention Valence in Upper-Limb Robotic Rehabilitation With Tailored Gamification and Eye Tracking for Neuroplasticity” (2025), introduces a novel framework that leverages visual attention valence—the emotional and cognitive value of where a patient looks—to personalize movement assistance and promote functional neuroplasticity. This approach represents a significant departure from conventional robot-assisted therapy by actively engaging the patient’s attentional and motivational systems during repetitive motor tasks. Though early in its citation trajectory, this work has already garnered attention for its innovative fusion of gaze-based biofeedback with adaptive robotic control, offering a scalable, patient-centered paradigm for stroke and spinal cord injury rehabilitation. Hu’s contributions are shaping the next generation of closed-loop neurorehabilitation technologies, where real-time eye tracking informs robotic assistance to maximize both engagement and neural recovery.
