About

Qiyin Huang’s research lies at the intersection of robotics, haptics, and neurorehabilitation, with a focus on restoring and assessing human sensorimotor function. A key contribution is the development of a novel method to evaluate incipient slip during robotic grasping—enabling adaptive control of grip force that mimics human tactile feedback. This work, published in 2023, has already garnered 14 citations and addresses a fundamental gap in dexterous manipulation. Huang also pioneered a robotic device for objectively measuring human ankle motion sense and position sense, providing fast, accurate assessments of proprioception that were previously unavailable in clinical settings. These contributions have been cited over 20 times collectively and have led to insights into brain lesions associated with impaired ankle proprioception in chronic stroke survivors. Notably, Huang’s interdisciplinary approach extends to exploring how mind-body practices like Spring Forest Qigong™ affect brain network changes in chronic low back pain, as shown in a Phase I clinical trial. With a growing portfolio of high-impact papers from 2021 to 2025, Huang is establishing a unique bridge between robotic haptics and clinical neuroscience, advancing both assistive technology and rehabilitation science.
