About

Xiaohua Zhang is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on the dynamics, motion control, and advanced manipulation of mobile and assistive robotic systems. A central theme of Zhang’s research is the development of robust control strategies for underactuated and self-balancing two-wheeled robots (TWRs), particularly for operation on uneven and challenging terrains. Zhang’s most cited work, “Hierarchical fast terminal sliding mode control for a self-balancing two-wheeled robot on uneven terrains” (2017, 16 citations), introduces a novel controller to address the performance degradation of traditional controllers on steep slopes and speed bumps. This contribution is complemented by foundational work on the dynamics and motion control of two-wheeled mobile robots (2012, 5 citations). Beyond mobile robotics, Zhang has made notable contributions to industrial automation and assistive technology. This includes a 2021 study on robotic assembly for irregular-shaped peg-in-hole tasks with partial constraints (4 citations) and the design of a novel self-adaptive bionic robot hand with flexible fingers (2017, 3 citations), addressing critical needs in both manufacturing precision and prosthetic functionality.
