About
Xuewei Lu is a leading researcher in biomechanics and bioinspired robotics, with a focus on understanding and replicating the complex mechanics of human locomotion. His work bridges the gap between fundamental gait analysis and the design of advanced prosthetic and robotic systems. Lu’s major contributions include the discovery of the fundamental linear and nonlinear properties of the human leg during walking (62 citations), which provides a critical framework for motion prediction and robotic control. He has also developed a multiaxial bionic ankle based on series elastic actuation with a parallel spring (51 citations), a key innovation for adaptive locomotion on uneven terrain. His research extends to optimizing the inner structure of bioinspired heel pads for superior cushioning and investigating the plantar fascia’s role in gait mechanics using robotic and simulation approaches. By combining rigorous experimental analysis with novel engineering design, Lu’s work directly informs the development of more efficient, resilient, and human-like robotic feet and rehabilitation devices, making a tangible impact on both robotics and clinical biomechanics.
