About

Xiaoyue Yan’s research bridges the fields of agricultural robotics and human biomechanics, with a focus on precision automation and aging-related motor control. Early in their career, Yan made a significant contribution to agricultural engineering through the dimensional synthesis and kinematics simulation of a high-speed plug seedling transplanting robot (2014), a work that has garnered 56 citations and laid the groundwork for efficient, automated transplanting systems. This research addresses critical challenges in crop production, enhancing speed and accuracy in seedling handling. More recently, Yan has turned to the study of balance control in older adults, investigating muscle activation patterns and postural sway under varying task complexities. Their 2025 study, which examines lower limb and trunk muscle activity during challenging stance conditions, offers valuable insights into fall prevention and rehabilitation strategies for aging populations. By integrating robotics design with human movement science, Yan demonstrates a versatile research portfolio that spans mechanical innovation and health-related biomechanics. Their work not only advances engineering solutions for agriculture but also contributes to improving quality of life for older adults through a deeper understanding of balance and motor control.
