About
Dr. Yan Leng is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics and human-machine interaction, with a focus on developing intuitive control systems for assistive devices. Her key research areas include electromyography (EMG)-based control, exoskeleton technology, and neurorehabilitation engineering. Her most notable contribution is the development of an EMG-based admittance control scheme for ankle joint exoskeletons, which enables seamless human-robot cooperation by accurately estimating motion intention from muscle signals. This work, published in 2020 and cited over 60 times, demonstrated successful application in both able-bodied individuals and stroke survivors, addressing critical limitations of noisy EMG signals and imprecise force estimation. Dr. Leng’s research bridges the gap between neural signal processing and practical rehabilitation technology, offering new pathways for restoring mobility in individuals with motor impairments. Her innovative approach to overcoming signal-to-noise challenges in EMG-based control has significant implications for the next generation of wearable robotic devices, making her a rising authority in the field of assistive robotics and neurorehabilitation.
