About
Bin Xu is a robotics and aerospace engineer whose research centers on aerial robotics, aerodynamic modeling, and autonomous control systems. His work focuses on the design and control of unconventional unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), with a particular emphasis on coaxial ducted fan systems — a challenging yet promising platform for applications requiring compact, stable flight in confined environments. Among his most notable contributions is a 2020 study on aerodynamic analysis and control for a coaxial ducted fan aerial robot operating in ground effect, a technically demanding flight regime where aerodynamic forces change significantly as the vehicle approaches surfaces. Through systematic bench testing and empirical curve fitting, Xu developed precise thrust models that account for ground effect at varying heights, providing a crucial foundation for stable low-altitude flight control. This work has accumulated 20 citations, reflecting its relevance to the growing UAV research community. Xu's research bridges theoretical aerodynamics with practical engineering solutions, making meaningful strides in improving the reliability and autonomy of next-generation aerial robots. His contributions are particularly valuable for students and engineers working on UAV platforms intended for inspection, search-and-rescue, or indoor navigation applications.
