About
Zhen Shi is a leading researcher in space robotics, specializing in the control, planning, and optimization of multi-joint manipulators operating in the challenging conditions of outer space. Her work directly addresses the critical need for autonomous, safe, and precise robotic manipulation for tasks such as satellite servicing and orbital debris capture. Shi’s most influential contribution is her pioneering algorithm for obstacle avoidance and path planning, detailed in her highly cited 2019 paper (38 citations), which ensures the safe operation of a space robot’s end-effector in cluttered environments. She further advanced the field by developing an optimal trajectory planning method to compensate for base disturbances in dual-manipulator systems (32 citations), a fundamental challenge for maintaining stability during complex operations. Her research also extends to adaptive optimal tracking control (8 citations), using a Gauss-Newton optimization to handle model uncertainties and external disturbances. With a cumulative impact of nearly 80 citations on these core topics, Shi is recognized for providing robust, practical solutions that enhance the autonomy and reliability of space robots, making her a key figure in the next generation of orbital robotics.
