National Advanced Worker, Shenzhen Advanced Institute researcher Wu Xinyu: Breakthrough in exoskeleton robot technology, filling international gaps in related fields.

Recently, Researcher Wu Xinyu from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was awarded the title of "National Advanced Worker". It is reported that this year a total of 12 people from the Chinese Academy of Sciences system and 5 people from Shenzhen have received this honor. In 2012, Wu Xinyu led a team to break through key core technologies and develop a rehabilitation exoskeleton robot for paraplegics, which can help spinal cord injury patients to achieve independent standing and walking, becoming the first research team in China to achieve human-carrying self-balancing walking exoskeleton. Shortly after, the system successfully achieved more complex movements such as self-balancing human carrying on slopes, stairs, etc., reaching an internationally advanced level. In 2025, Wu Xinyu's team once again achieved a technological breakthrough in the field of underwater operation robots, successfully developing a diving-assist exoskeleton system that can provide full-cycle assistance for divers alternately kicking and frog swimming, with potential applications in underwater operations, rescue, and other fields, filling the gap in this field internationally.
