About
Changle Xiang is a pioneering roboticist specializing in the design, modeling, and control of ducted-fan aerial robots—a class of unmanned vehicles known for their safety and maneuverability in confined spaces. His major contributions center on solving the complex aerodynamic and control challenges these robots face, particularly under partial actuator failure, ground effect, and corner environments. For instance, his 2022 paper on adaptive fault-tolerant control (23 citations) provides a critical safety mechanism for real-world deployment. Xiang’s work on coaxial ducted fan robots, including aerodynamic analysis and neural network-based modeling (20 and 11 citations, respectively), has enabled precise hover operations near walls and ceilings, with applications in inspection and maintenance. He has also advanced robust flight control through structured controllers and nonsmooth optimization (8 and 6 citations), ensuring stability despite modeling errors and external disturbances. With over 87 total citations across his most-cited works, Xiang’s research bridges theoretical control theory and practical robot design, making him a key figure in the development of resilient, operationally versatile aerial robots for challenging environments.
