About
XueAi Li is a pioneering researcher in soft robotics, specializing in inflatable robotic arms (IRAs) and their applications in sensitive environments. Their major contributions include the design, modeling, and control of lightweight, large-scale IRAs—such as a 10.1-meter-long arm weighing only 843 grams—enabling compliant manipulation for disaster rescue and archaeological exploration. Li’s work on hybrid adaptive disturbance rejection control and enhanced static modeling of pneumatic artificial muscles has advanced the field’s theoretical foundations, with papers like “Design, modeling and characterization of a joint for inflatable robotic arms” (26 citations) and “Enhanced static modeling of commercial pneumatic artificial muscles” (15 citations) demonstrating significant impact. Notably, Li has also contributed to space robotics, reviewing China’s state-of-the-art on-orbit servicing technologies (11 citations) and proposing development strategies for autonomous spacecraft repair. Their recent innovations include an enhanced soft growing robot with mixed-layer jamming for superior load capacity and humanoid robot control for robustness and versatile jumping. With over 100 citations across key publications, Li’s work bridges fundamental modeling and practical deployment, offering transformative solutions for extreme environments.
