About

Guorong Zhu is a pioneering researcher in the field of advanced robotics and electromechanical systems, with a primary focus on wireless power transfer, actuator design, and high-performance motor optimization for robotic applications. His work addresses critical challenges in robot joint power supply, where he has developed innovative wireless power transfer (WPT) systems that eliminate the limitations of traditional wires and slip rings, enabling greater rotational freedom and reliability. Zhu’s contributions to quasi-direct drive actuators have advanced torque estimation techniques, enhancing force control bandwidth and backdrivability in robots. He has also made significant strides in motor design, particularly for quadruped robots, by investigating slot-pole combinations to achieve low-speed, high-torque, and lightweight joint motors. His multi-objective optimization of outer-rotor permanent magnet synchronous motors has yielded designs with reduced torque ripple, directly benefiting applications requiring precise, smooth motion. With a growing citation impact—his most-cited paper on WPT for robot joints has garnered 4 citations—Zhu’s work is increasingly recognized for its practical implications in robotics and automation. His research not only pushes the boundaries of motor and actuator performance but also lays the groundwork for more agile, reliable, and efficient robotic systems.
