About

Dr. Xuping Feng is a leading researcher at the intersection of agricultural engineering, robotics, and surgical innovation. Her primary research focuses on precision agriculture, specifically the mechanization and automation of fresh market strawberry production, and the application of robotic systems in complex environments. Dr. Feng’s major contributions include pioneering work on autonomous navigation for greenhouse robots, developing a system based on improved FAST-LIO2 that adapts to diverse scenarios (9 citations). She has also advanced postharvest quality assessment by coupling dynamic finite element methods with response surface methodology to detect hidden damage in strawberries (15 citations), and created a field robot capable of semantic segmentation for color phenotype detection in strawberry germplasm resources (13 citations). Her comprehensive review on technology progress in mechanical harvest of fresh market strawberries (21 citations) serves as a foundational resource for the field. Notably, Dr. Feng has also contributed to surgical robotics, co-authoring a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing robotic versus laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (18 citations). Her interdisciplinary work bridges engineering and agriculture, driving efficiency and quality in modern food production systems.
