About

Fang’s research focuses on two critical areas in robotics: rescue robotics for hazardous environments and adaptive control strategies for industrial manipulators. Their most notable contribution is the design of a mobile platform for a rocker-type coal mine rescue robot, addressing the extreme challenges of post-disaster environments—confined spaces, uneven terrain, and explosive gases. This platform, featuring four independently driven wheels and a rocker assembly, demonstrated exceptional obstacle-crossing and explosion-proof capabilities. Through Adams simulations and physical experiments, Fang validated the platform’s ability to maintain body stability via a differential mechanism, achieving strong ground adaptability and robust performance. The work, published in 2010, has garnered 9 citations, underscoring its relevance to mine safety robotics. In a parallel line of inquiry, Fang explored adaptive hybrid force/position control for industrial robots, combining theoretical modeling with experimental validation to enhance precision in tasks requiring simultaneous force and position regulation. This study, with 2 citations, reflects a commitment to bridging theory and practice. Fang’s contributions are particularly valuable for students and researchers interested in field robotics and control systems, offering practical solutions for real-world automation and disaster response.
