About

Dr. Hegen Xiong is a researcher specializing in sensor technology and robotic manipulation, with a particular focus on fiber optic sensing and trajectory planning for industrial manipulators. His most influential contribution is the development of a three-axis force fingertip sensor based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG), a highly cited work (90 citations) that has advanced tactile sensing for precision robotics. This sensor enables simultaneous measurement of multi-directional forces, offering significant improvements in dexterity and feedback for robotic grippers. In parallel, Dr. Xiong has addressed practical challenges in robot motion control, notably through his work on trajectory planning for 6-DOF manipulators. By investigating quintic polynomial algorithms, he tackled the issue of joint acceleration discontinuity inherent in simpler cubic methods, providing a smoother, more reliable motion profile—though at the cost of increased computational load. His research bridges fundamental sensing and control, contributing to more responsive and capable robotic systems. Dr. Xiong’s work is particularly relevant for applications in automation, prosthetics, and human-robot interaction.
