About
Yangmin Li is a distinguished robotics and automation researcher whose work spans parallel robot mechanisms, precision micromanipulation, and intelligent motion planning. Over two decades, Li has made foundational contributions to the kinematic and dynamic analysis of parallel mechanisms, most notably through his rigorous investigations of 3-PRS, 3-PRC, and 3-PUPU spatial parallel robots, developing closed-form inverse kinematics solutions and Newton-iterative forward kinematics approaches that have become reference methodologies in the field. His innovative design of compliant hinge-based parallel robots for high-precision micro-positioning—earning over 119 citations for a single landmark study—demonstrates a consistent ability to bridge theoretical mechanics with real-world engineering demands. Particularly noteworthy is his pioneering proposal of a 3-PUU translational parallel manipulator for cardiopulmonary resuscitation, bringing robotics directly into life-saving medical applications (110 citations). Li has also advanced intelligent path planning through particle swarm optimization and more recently contributed comprehensive surveys on piezo-actuated compliant stages and machine learning for micro- and nanorobotics, reflecting his forward-looking perspective. With multiple papers exceeding 80 citations, his cumulative influence makes him an essential reference for researchers in precision robotics, medical automation, and micro-nano manipulation systems.
