About
Siqi Li is a leading researcher in the field of safe human-robot interaction, with a primary focus on rehabilitation robotics and compliant actuation systems. Their work centers on the design and control of Series Elastic Actuators (SEAs) and compliant joints, addressing the critical tradeoff between robot performance and human safety in physical Human-Robot Interaction (pHRI). Li’s most influential contribution is the development of variable stiffness control strategies for SEAs used in rehabilitation training, which mimic the natural variable stiffness properties of human joints to enhance both security and therapeutic efficacy. Their research on robust impedance control further advances the safe, high-performance operation of these systems. Li has also made significant strides in the inherent safety design of humanoid rehabilitation robots, including the implementation of homogeneous compliant joints for dual-arm systems and serial integrated rotary joints. With a cumulative citation count of 40 across their top papers, Li’s work is foundational for creating robots that can safely coexist and collaborate with humans in shared spaces, from clinical rehabilitation to home care and industrial settings. Their achievements include pioneering safety-performance tradeoff analyses that are essential for the next generation of inherently safe, high-performance robotic systems.
