About
Hao Lu is a robotics researcher specializing in human-robot interaction, assistive care robotics, and mechanical design for extreme environments. His work addresses critical challenges in elderly care and industrial maintenance through innovative robotic systems. Lu's primary contributions lie in developing dual-arm nursing-care robots that enhance patient comfort and caregiver safety. His 2023 study on comfort during transfers, which has garnered 10 citations, pioneered the use of human body pressure and surface electromyographic signals to quantify comfort in human-robot interactions—a field previously lacking biomechanical standards. He further advanced collision safety with a 2024 paper on coordinating obstacle avoidance for redundant dual-arm robots, solving the complex problem of simultaneous self-collision and environment-collision avoidance. Lu also developed a human-robot mechanics model using hip torque identification to improve transfer accuracy. Beyond care robotics, his 2025 design of a metamorphic mechanism-based robot for climbing wind turbine blades demonstrates versatility, tackling high-curvature and harsh-condition challenges. With a growing citation impact, Lu's work is shaping safer, more adaptive robotic solutions for both healthcare and industrial applications.
