About

Zhijie Xu is a researcher whose work bridges robotics, control systems, and virtual manufacturing. His key contributions lie in trajectory planning and the integration of virtual reality with industrial automation. His most cited work, "Trajectory Planning with Bezier Curve in Cartesian Space for Industrial Gluing Robot" (2014, 19 citations), addresses the challenge of generating smooth, precise paths for robotic manipulators, a critical problem in automated manufacturing. He also contributed to the design of control systems for SCARA robots, a widely used class of assembly robots. Notably, his earlier research, "Virtual Reality Based Robot Graphic Simulation and Virtual Manufacturing System" (1997, 3 citations), was pioneering in its exploration of a direct interface between industrial robots and VR systems. This work enabled robot arm simulation, control language conversion, physical communication, and teleoperation, laying groundwork for modern digital twin and remote robotics applications. Though his citation counts are modest, Xu’s work reflects a sustained interest in making industrial robots more flexible, programmable, and integrated with emerging digital technologies.
