About

Yao Xie is a pioneering researcher in the field of rehabilitation robotics, with a primary focus on intelligent lower-limb prosthetics and exoskeleton systems for above-knee amputees. Her work bridges the critical gap between bionic design and practical human mobility, addressing the complex challenges of restoring natural gait and weight-bearing function. In her highly cited 2019 paper on the biped robot with heterogeneous legs (BRHL), Xie introduced a groundbreaking approach that uses an artificial leg to simulate the amputee's remaining limb, enabling precise gait-following trajectories for bionic legs—a key contribution to the development of intelligent lower-limb prostheses. Her complementary research on a novel exoskeleton robot, which integrates a mechanical exoskeleton leg worn on the user's residual limb with a back frame, demonstrates her commitment to creating wearable systems that support daily and weight-bearing walking. While her citation counts are still growing, reflecting the early stage of her impactful career, Xie’s work has already laid essential groundwork for future advancements in assistive robotics, earning her recognition as an emerging leader in biomechatronics and human-robot interaction.
