About
Changyang Li is a pioneering robotics researcher whose work is central to the future of nuclear fusion energy. His primary research areas include the design and optimization of mobile parallel robots, wall-climbing robots, and cable-driven continuum manipulators, all tailored for the extreme environments of fusion reactors. Li’s major contributions lie in developing specialized robotic systems for the assembly, machining, and inspection of fusion reactor vacuum vessels—critical components that are massive, radioactive, and highly constrained. His most cited work (2020, 14 citations) details a mobile parallel robot for assembling and machining the fusion reactor vacuum vessel, while his 2021 paper (10 citations) introduces a dexterous mobile parallel mechanism optimized for heavy-duty tasks with minimal space occupation. Li’s impact is evident in his consistent citation record, with papers on wall-climbing robots for DEMO vacuum vessel inspection (2022, 9 citations) and cable-driven elephant trunk robots for confined spaces (2023, 9 citations) further demonstrating his influence. Notably, his 2024 experimental work on in-situ milling via mobile parallel robots showcases real-world validation. Li’s research directly addresses the daunting challenges of remote handling in fusion reactors, making him a key figure in enabling practical fusion energy.
