About
Driven by a passion for autonomous systems, Yannan Li is a leading researcher in the control and coordination of multi-robot systems. Her work masterfully bridges the gap between theoretical control theory and practical robotic applications, with a primary focus on wheeled mobile robots (WMRs). Li’s major contributions lie in solving complex challenges of cooperative control, including optimal circumnavigation of moving targets and fixed-time consensus formation tracking. Her 2024 paper on "Optimal Moving-Target Circumnavigation Control" (13 citations) introduces a groundbreaking framework that integrates adaptive dynamic programming with backstepping control, enabling multiple robots to intelligently encircle a moving target. In another highly relevant work (2 citations), she tackles the demanding problem of fixed-time prescribed performance control for electrically driven WMRs with completely unknown parameters, a critical step toward robust, real-world deployment. By considering not just robot kinematics but also high-order drive circuit dynamics, Li’s research pushes the boundaries of what is possible in autonomous swarms, offering elegant solutions for precision, safety, and adaptability in dynamic environments.
