Walking is a basic human activity which deserves scientific understanding. My research focuses on the predictive principles underlying dynamic walking of humans and robots. These principles are important not only for robotics, but also for rehabilitation and human movement science. In 2016, I set up the Human-Augmented Robotics Lab (HARL) in SUSTech. Research topics of the HARL include predictive walking principles, powered prosthesis, lower-limb exoskeleton, suspended backpack, and super-limbs
