About

Xuanyi Zhou is a dynamic robotics and human-machine interaction researcher whose work spans intelligent sensing, robotic control, and autonomous systems. Best known for pioneering multimodal approaches to human-robot interaction, Zhou's research on hand gesture recognition using combined electromyographic signals and depth vision (63 citations) established new benchmarks for intuitive HRI interfaces, complemented by a closely related muscle-computer interface study (36 citations). Zhou has made significant contributions to surgical robotics, developing bilateral teleoperation systems with Remote Center of Motion constraints (41 citations) and manipulability optimization for 7-DoF surgical manipulators, directly addressing safety-critical challenges in minimally invasive procedures. A landmark 2023 survey on LiDAR-based SLAM (50 citations) has rapidly become an essential reference for the robotic mapping community. Zhou's portfolio further extends to agricultural UAV systems, deep learning-based object detection for home service robots, and a remarkable fully-soft amphibious miniature robot powered by electrohydraulic actuation (32 citations). With over 310 total citations and consistent output across sensing, manipulation, and soft robotics, Zhou represents a versatile and increasingly influential voice in modern intelligent robotics research.
