About
Xiwang Mao is a leading researcher in the field of rehabilitation robotics and assistive exoskeletons, with a focus on developing intelligent, wearable systems that restore and augment human mobility. His work spans both lower and upper extremity devices, addressing critical challenges in locomotion mode identification, human-robot interaction, and control system design. Mao’s most cited paper (75 citations) introduces a PSO-SVM-based online locomotion mode identification method for rehabilitation exoskeletons, enabling smooth and automatic transitions between walking modes—a key advancement for real-world clinical use. He has also made significant contributions to the design and control of electrically and hydraulically actuated exoskeletons for load-carrying and power amplification, as well as soft, cable-driven exosuits for upper limb assistance. His 2025 systematic review (18 citations) provides a comprehensive analysis of prototype development and technical challenges in the field, serving as a valuable resource for researchers. With over 180 total citations, Mao’s work is instrumental in bridging the gap between laboratory prototypes and practical, user-friendly assistive devices for rehabilitation and industrial applications.
