About
Bingqing Zhang is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics, human-robot interaction, and assistive mobility. Her work fundamentally explores how robots and humans coexist in dynamic, crowded spaces. Zhang’s major contributions include pioneering the concept of Crowd-Robot Interaction (CRI), moving beyond traditional HRI to understand how robots physically alter pedestrian flow and crowd dynamics. Her highly cited 2021 study, *From HRI to CRI*, with 21 citations, provides foundational evidence on how different robot types influence human movement patterns. In assistive technology, Zhang has advanced shared-control wheelchair navigation, developing hierarchical and reinforcement learning-based systems that allow users to navigate safely through unpredictable crowds. Her 2023 work on user-specific shared control, which tailors assistance to individual driving styles, represents a significant step toward practical, personalized mobility aids for people with impairments. With a growing citation record and a clear focus on real-world deployment, Zhang is shaping how autonomous systems and humans will share our most complex environments.
