About

Shili Tan’s research centers on service robotics, human–robot collaboration, and intelligent manipulation, with a focus on assistive technologies for elderly and disabled individuals. Tan’s major contributions include developing modular robot arm systems with optimized LSPB trajectory planning and solving inverse kinematics for compliant manipulators using immune genetic algorithms—work that has garnered over 20 citations collectively. Notably, Tan proposed an innovative ACT-R-typed human–robot collaboration mechanism that integrates cognitive architectures to enhance decision-making in mobile service robots, addressing critical gaps in qualitative human–robot interaction. This work, published in 2013, stands out for its application in elderly and disabled assistance, demonstrating Tan’s commitment to socially impactful robotics. Additionally, Tan’s early review of micro-robot development at home and abroad provided foundational insights into key challenges and future directions in the field. Through these contributions, Tan has advanced both the theoretical and practical aspects of compliant manipulation and collaborative robotics, making a meaningful mark on assistive technology research.
