About
Limin Yang is a robotics researcher whose work pushes the boundaries of legged locomotion and autonomous navigation in extreme environments. His primary research areas include wheel-legged rover design, legged skating and skiing robots, and lidar-based SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping). Yang’s most significant contribution is the design and control of TAWL, a novel wheel-legged rover for planetary exploration featuring an active-passive coupled leg mechanism with terrain-adaptive wheel speed allocation, which has garnered 41 citations. He also developed FEVO-LOAM, a feature extraction and vertical optimized lidar odometry and mapping method that addresses critical vertical errors in traditional SLAM systems (26 citations). Yang’s innovative work extends to creating the first six-legged skating robot with skateboards for ice and flat terrains, as well as a hexapod robot for autonomous blind guidance in challenging environments. His recent research on motion planning for legged robots with dynamic characteristics and obstacle avoidance for skiing robots in unknown snow environments demonstrates his commitment to solving real-world mobility challenges. With over 89 total citations across his published works, Yang is establishing himself as a leading figure in specialized legged robotics for extreme terrain exploration.
