About

Xu Zhuo-fan is a pioneering researcher in the intersection of robotics and traditional Chinese wellness, with a primary focus on humanoid robot design and motion control. Their most notable contribution is the development of a humanoid dance robot specifically programmed to perform Baduanjin, a classical Chinese health exercise. This work, published in 2022, introduces a 16-servo-motor-driven robot controlled by an STM32 chip and dual-mode Bluetooth 4.0 BLE+EDR, enabling precise spatial positioning and attitude control. By translating the meditative, flowing movements of Baduanjin into robotic choreography, Xu bridges cultural heritage with cutting-edge mechatronics, offering new possibilities for assistive therapy and interactive education. Though the paper has garnered 2 citations to date, its interdisciplinary novelty—combining robotics, traditional exercise, and wireless control—marks a creative step forward in human-robot interaction. Xu’s work stands as a testament to how robotics can preserve and disseminate cultural practices, inspiring future research in culturally-aware automation and rehabilitation robotics.
