About
Yingxin Wu is a researcher in robotics and mechanical design, with a primary focus on compliant actuation systems for safe physical human-robot interaction (pHRI). Wu’s most cited work, “A flat torsional spring with corrugated flexible units for series elastic actuators” (2017, 11 citations), introduces an innovative, compact spring design that enhances the performance of Series Elastic Actuators (SEAs)—a critical technology for ensuring safety in robots that work alongside humans. By developing corrugated flexible units, Wu’s design achieves a favorable balance of stiffness, compactness, and durability, enabling more responsive and safer robotic joints. This contribution addresses a key challenge in pHRI: creating compliant, energy-efficient actuators that can absorb impacts and precisely control force. Wu’s work is notable for its practical engineering approach, offering a scalable solution for collaborative robots, prosthetics, and exoskeletons. With growing interest in safe human-robot collaboration, Wu’s research continues to influence the design of next-generation compliant actuators, making robots more adaptable and trustworthy in shared environments.
