About
Dr. Aiming Ji is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on the locomotion and mechanical interaction of legged robots with deformable terrains. His primary research areas include terramechanics, foot-soil interaction modeling, and the structural optimization of robotic appendages for enhanced mobility in soft soil environments. Dr. Ji’s most notable contribution is his pioneering study on the stress and sinking properties of legged robot feet, where he introduced the use of the Multi-Material Arbitrary Lagrange-Euler (MM-ALE) method to analyze how foot geometry affects sinkage in soft ground. This work, published in 2017 and cited 3 times, provides critical insights for designing more efficient toe structures that reduce sinking and improve walking performance. By addressing the fundamental challenge of robotic locomotion in yielding substrates, Dr. Ji’s research has practical implications for agricultural, planetary exploration, and disaster response robots. His findings help bridge the gap between theoretical soil mechanics and applied robotics, offering a foundation for future innovations in adaptive foot design.
