About
Wenlong Qin is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics and dentistry, specializing in the development of advanced parallel robots for dental applications. His major contributions include the design of a 4-DOF redundantly actuated parallel robot with optimized torque distribution for force/position hybrid control, a system that enhances precision in dental procedures. He also developed a groundbreaking robotic chewing simulator that supplies six-axis mandibular motion, high occlusal force, and a saliva environment for denture testing—a critical tool for evaluating wear failure modes in dental prostheses. With over 49 citations across his most-cited works, Qin’s research has significantly advanced in vitro dental material testing. His 2024 review on robotics in dentistry highlights the transformative potential of intelligent dentistry, while his work on CPG-based generation of variable rhythmic chewing movements demonstrates innovative approaches to mimicking human mastication. Notably, his trajectory planning for dental testing chewing robots, based on biomimetic temporomandibular joints, has set new standards for realistic simulation. Qin’s work bridges engineering and clinical practice, driving the shift toward digital and intelligent dentistry.
