About

Zeyu Xu is a researcher at the forefront of agricultural robotics and food processing technology, with a specialized focus on the low-damage handling of delicate biological materials. His work addresses a critical challenge in modern food production: balancing automation efficiency with product quality. Xu’s most cited paper, “Research Progress on Low Damage Grasping of Fruit, Vegetable and Meat Raw Materials” (2023, 11 citations), provides a comprehensive review of sorting and processing techniques, highlighting how improper handling can compromise product integrity. This foundational work has informed the design of gentler robotic grippers for the food industry. In a more targeted study, “Experimental Study on Clamping Safety Margin of a Banana Stem Gripper” (2018, 4 citations), Xu tackled the practical problem of heavy banana bunches slipping during robotic harvesting. By defining and quantifying the clamping safety margin—the ratio of grip force to load—he established a critical parameter for reliable manipulation. This contribution is vital for developing harvesting robots that can handle heavy, slippery crops without damage. Xu’s research bridges the gap between mechanical design and biological sensitivity, offering practical solutions for sustainable, automated agriculture.
