About

Dalong Wang is a robotics researcher whose work centers on autonomous mobile robot navigation, multi-robot collaboration, and human-robot interaction. His most recognized contribution is the development of the Variable Speed Force Field (F²) method, introduced in 2006, which provides an elegant framework for coordinating motion planning among multiple robots simultaneously — a paper that has garnered 18 citations and remains a foundational reference in the field. Building on this, Wang extended his research to address the practical challenges of real-world robot deployment, developing adaptive manoeuvring strategies that combine optimized global path planning with real-time sensor-based collision avoidance, enabling robots to navigate safely and efficiently in cluttered, dynamic environments populated by moving obstacles such as people. These navigation contributions, each accumulating citations in the robotics community, reflect his commitment to bridging theoretical planning algorithms with practical applicability. Wang has also explored human-robot interaction, proposing haptic-based teleoperation systems for demanding industrial tasks such as robotic grit blasting, demonstrating a broader interest in making robotic systems accessible and controllable by human operators in complex settings.
