About
Keke Qi is a robotics researcher specializing in safe physical human-robot interaction and compliant actuation systems. Their major contributions lie in developing novel sensing and control methods to enhance robot safety and performance in collaborative environments. Qi's most impactful work introduces a quasi whole-body sensing method using laser-ranging sensor ring pairs, enabling robots to detect and respond to human proximity with high precision—a critical advancement for industrial and service robotics. This paper has garnered 25 citations, reflecting its influence on human-robot safety research. Additionally, Qi has advanced trajectory tracking control for compliant robots with nonlinear stiffness joints, employing terminal sliding mode techniques to manage the complex dynamics of variable-stiffness actuators. Their work on a new nonlinear stiffness actuator with a predefined torque-deflection profile further demonstrates expertise in designing elastic components that balance low-stiffness torque resolution with high-stiffness bandwidth. Though early in their career, Qi's research addresses fundamental challenges in creating safer, more responsive robots, positioning them as an emerging contributor to the field of physical human-robot interaction and compliant robotics.
