About
Ping-Chun Xie is a researcher specializing in robotics dynamics, virtual prototyping, and control co-simulation, with a particular focus on industrial spot welding robots. His major contributions lie in the development of simulation-driven design and optimization methodologies for robotic manipulators. Xie pioneered the use of RecurDyn, a multibody dynamics software, to model and analyze the driving torques of spot welding robots, enabling more informed motor selection and effective gravity balancing strategies. His work on dynamic co-simulation—integrating MATLAB/Simulink with RecurDyn—established a powerful framework for testing control algorithms on virtual prototypes before physical deployment. This approach allows command forces generated in Simulink to be applied directly to actuators in the virtual environment, bridging the gap between control design and mechanical dynamics. Though his most-cited works have accumulated modest citation counts (5 and 4 citations respectively), they represent foundational steps in the practical application of co-simulation for industrial robotics. Xie’s research is particularly valuable for engineers and students seeking to reduce prototyping costs and improve robot performance through simulation-based optimization.
