About

Benguang Zhang is a pioneering researcher in bio-inspired robotics and rehabilitation engineering, with a focus on understanding and replicating biological locomotion systems. His work bridges the gap between insect biomechanics and assistive technology, particularly through the study of locust air posture adjustment mechanisms. Zhang’s most influential paper, “Mechanism of locust air posture adjustment” (2015, 16 citations), lays the foundation for bio-robotic control by analyzing how locusts right themselves midair, inspiring novel designs for agile aerial robots. He further explores this in “Prototype design and experimental study on locust air-posture righting” (2014, 11 citations) and “Analysis of wings effects on locust-like robot air posture” (2016, 4 citations). In rehabilitation robotics, Zhang’s work on “Control strategy of the lower-limb exoskeleton based on the EMG signals” (2014, 13 citations) advances wearable robots for mobility-impaired individuals, using electromyographic signals to interpret user intent. His research on “Cartesian space trajectory planning on 7-DOF manipulator” (2015, 7 citations) contributes to nursing robot development, ensuring smooth, continuous motion. With over 50 total citations, Zhang’s interdisciplinary approach—combining entomology, robotics, and human-machine interaction—positions him as a key innovator in creating adaptive, biologically inspired systems for both aerial and terrestrial applications.
