About
Zhibo Pang is a pioneering researcher at the forefront of Healthcare 4.0, where he converges automation technology, biomedical engineering, and health informatics to reshape the future of medicine. His work centers on developing intelligent robotic systems for homecare, stroke rehabilitation, and human-robot collaboration, with a particular focus on safe, natural interaction between humans and machines. Pang’s major contributions include the creation of IoT-enabled stroke rehabilitation systems using smart wearable armbands and machine learning (187 citations), the development of CoboSkin—a soft robot skin with variable stiffness for safer collaboration (99 citations), and comprehensive reviews on robot skin as an enabler for immersive teleoperation and affective interaction (94 citations). His highly cited work on homecare robotic systems for Healthcare 4.0 (203 citations) and his introduction to the special section on Healthcare 4.0 (153 citations) have helped define the field. Pang has also advanced facial expression recognition using conditional GANs for human-robot interaction (111 citations) and developed teleoperation systems for remote dementia care. With over 1,000 cumulative citations across his most influential papers, Pang’s research is driving the paradigm shift from hospital-centric to home-centric healthcare, making him a leading voice in the future of collaborative and care robotics.
