After years of patient investment, China is on the cusp of a robotics revolution.

If embodied intelligence
— think AI-powered robots that can navigate the real world
— is the next frontier of AI, then China appears poised to dominate.
Though the United States still has distinct advantages in software, advanced AI chips and foundational research, China leads in robot hardware, deployment and policy support.

Last year, China installed nearly 300,000 robots in its fact…

The Chinese robots are coming
China is miles ahead in the race to dominate a technology that could define the 21st century.

Autonomous Soft Robotic Guidewire Navigation via Imitation Learning
In endovascular surgery, endovascular interventionists push a thin tube called a catheter, guided by a thin wire to a treatment site inside the patient's blood vessels to treat various conditions such as blood clots, aneurysms, and malformations. Guidewires with robotic tips can enhance maneuverability, but they present challenges in modeling and control. Automation of soft robotic guidewire navigation has the potential to overcome these challenges, increasing the precision and safety of endova…

Point and Go: Intuitive Reference Frame Reallocation in Mode Switching for Assistive Robotics
Operating high degree of freedom robots can be difficult for users of wheelchair mounted robotic manipulators. Mode switching in Cartesian space has several drawbacks such as unintuitive control reference frames, separate translation and orientation control, and limited movement capabilities that hinder performance. We propose Point and Go mode switching, which reallocates the Cartesian mode switching reference frames into a more intuitive action space comprised of new translation and rotation …

Direct Data-Driven Predictive Control for a Three-dimensional Cable-Driven Soft Robotic Arm
Soft robots offer significant advantages in safety and adaptability, yet achieving precise and dynamic control remains a major challenge due to their inherently complex and nonlinear dynamics. Recently, Data-enabled Predictive Control (DeePC) has emerged as a promising model-free approach that bypasses explicit system identification by directly leveraging input-output data. While DeePC has shown success in other domains, its application to soft robots remains underexplored, particularly for thr…
