About

Xingzhao Guo is a pioneering researcher in the field of wearable robotics and rehabilitation engineering, with a focused expertise in the design and control of robotic braces for spinal and trunk support. His major contributions center on the development of novel serial-parallel mechanisms, particularly the 3-RPR parallel mechanism, to create intelligent, dynamic orthoses that actively assist trunk movement and train core muscle groups. Guo’s work is distinguished by its comprehensive approach, integrating kinematic and kinetic analysis with advanced control strategies like admittance control to achieve dynamic, responsive support for patients with spine deformity or trunk weakness. His most-cited paper (2022, 12 citations) introduces a four-degree-of-freedom robotic brace capable of direct force/moment measurement, marking a significant step beyond passive braces. Through multi-objective optimization and performance analysis, Guo has systematically advanced the practicality and efficacy of these wearable systems. His research not only addresses critical rehabilitation needs but also lays the groundwork for a new paradigm in robotic-assisted therapy, offering promising solutions for improving mobility and quality of life in individuals with spinal conditions.
