About

Fanghao Nan is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on control systems for rehabilitation and locomotion robots. His key research areas include sliding mode control, rehabilitation robotics, and legged locomotion. Nan’s major contributions involve developing advanced sliding mode controllers with composite reaching laws for upper limb rehabilitation robots, designed to assist flaccid paralysis patients in recovering motor function by overcoming limitations from muscle tension. He also proposed a fixed-time tracking control method based on sliding surface adjustment for quadruped crawling robots navigating continuous convex terrain. His most-cited paper, “Fixed-time Tracking Control Based on Sliding Surface Adjustment for Quadruped Crawling Robot in Continuous Convex Terrain” (2025), has accumulated 3 citations, while his work on rehabilitation robots (2024) has received 2 citations. Though early in his career, Nan’s research addresses critical challenges in assistive robotics and locomotion control, with potential applications in medical rehabilitation and field robotics. His innovative sliding surface adjustment technique represents a notable achievement for improving tracking performance under terrain constraints.
