About

Furui Wang is a multidisciplinary researcher whose work spans two distinctive yet equally impactful domains: rehabilitation robotics and structural health monitoring. In the field of stroke rehabilitation, Wang made foundational contributions through the design of the Cable Actuated Finger Exoskeleton, a pioneering device addressing hand impairment following stroke that has garnered over 150 citations and remains a landmark reference in rehabilitation engineering. Complementing this work, Wang developed intelligent robot-assisted rehabilitation frameworks incorporating assist-as-needed training, visual error augmentation, and verbal feedback mechanisms, collectively advancing the automation and personalization of post-stroke therapy for upper-limb recovery. Wang's more recent research pivots to structural integrity assessment, where innovative percussion-based and active sensing approaches have been developed to detect bolt looseness and pipeline sand deposition. Notable contributions include the "Smart Crawfish" system and a Siamese double-path capsule network for autonomous multi-bolt looseness detection, demonstrating Wang's command of machine learning, signal processing, and ensemble learning techniques. These structural monitoring works have collectively attracted over 175 citations since 2020, reflecting remarkable research momentum. Across both domains, Wang's career exemplifies a commitment to translating advanced sensing and control technologies into practical, real-world safety and healthcare solutions.
