About
Yilong Xu is a pioneering researcher in the field of continuum robotics and hybrid mechanisms, with a focused application in aerospace maintenance. His work centers on developing novel robotic systems for the *in situ* repair and inspection of aeroengine components, addressing the critical challenge of accessing confined, unstructured spaces. Xu’s major contributions include the design and kinematic analysis of a rigid-flexible coupling hybrid robot, which combines the stability of rigid structures with the adaptability of flexible elements for precise blade repair. He has also introduced a groundbreaking continuum robot connected by unique offset cross revolute joints, enabling enhanced dexterity and compliance for minimally invasive tasks. His most cited paper (8 citations) on the hybrid robot for aeroengine blades has laid the foundation for a promising repair technology, while his subsequent work on continuum robots (3 and 1 citations) has advanced the field’s understanding of multi-section kinematics and validation. Xu’s research is notable for its direct industrial relevance, bridging theoretical kinematics with practical validation, and his designs are poised to transform maintenance procedures in aerospace and surgical robotics.
