About

Daming Li is a leading figure in space robotics, whose work has been instrumental in advancing China’s autonomous orbital capabilities. His primary research focuses on the design, simulation, and verification of robotic systems for the Chinese Space Station (CSS). Li’s most notable contribution is his role in the development of the Chinese Space Station Manipulator (CSSM), a critical system for relocating spacecraft sections, assisting with docking, installing equipment, and performing maintenance—laying the groundwork for the entire CSS construction. His 2015 overview of the CSSM has garnered 12 citations, establishing a foundational reference in the field. To ensure mission safety and reliability, Li pioneered high-fidelity Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulation facilities for task verification, detailed in his 2018 paper (9 citations), which reduces implementation risks and enhances automation. His comprehensive 2019 review of Chinese space station robots (5 citations) further cements his expertise. Through these contributions, Li has directly enabled complex robotic tasks in orbit, reducing human risk and pushing the boundaries of intelligent automation in space exploration.
