About
Fang Zhao is a leading researcher in fusion engineering, specializing in the design and optimization of remote handling systems for next-generation tokamak reactors. Their major contribution lies in advancing the operational precision of the Chinese Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR), particularly through novel inverse kinematics solutions for the Central Maintenance and Operation Robot (CMOR). In their highly cited 2024 work, Zhao introduced a workspace-analysis-driven approach that significantly enhances the dexterity and safety of robotic manipulators in extreme fusion environments—a critical step toward CFETR’s long-pulse, high-power operations. This research has already garnered 5 citations, reflecting its immediate relevance to the fusion robotics community. Zhao’s work bridges computational geometry and control theory, offering practical pathways for automated maintenance in radioactive settings. By addressing the complex constraints of confined toroidal spaces, they have set a new benchmark for remote handling in fusion devices. Their achievements underscore a commitment to enabling sustainable fusion energy through innovative robotic solutions, making them a key figure in the global push toward commercial fusion power.
