About

Fengying Wang is a robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of chaos theory and autonomous mobile robot navigation. Her primary contributions focus on developing innovative coverage path planning (CPP) algorithms that harness the unpredictable yet deterministic properties of chaotic dynamical systems to enable robots to traverse unknown terrains completely, evenly, and efficiently. Wang's most influential work applies mathematical constructs — including the Lorenz system, Chebyshev map, Logistic map, Standard map, and Arnold dynamical system — to design path planners that meet the demanding requirements of surveillance, reconnaissance, and other special robotic missions. Her 2013 paper introducing a Logistic Map-based chaotic path planner (32 citations) and her 2016 Lorenz-bounded strategy (35 citations) are widely recognized contributions to the field, demonstrating her ability to translate abstract dynamical systems into practical robotic solutions. Her 2017 Chebyshev map planner (34 citations) further cemented her reputation as a leading voice in chaotic CPP research. Beyond chaos-based navigation, Wang has also explored obstacle avoidance using radial basis function neural networks in dynamic environments, illustrating a broader command of intelligent control methodologies. Her body of work, accumulating over 150 citations, offers students and roboticists a compelling framework for applying nonlinear mathematics to real-world autonomous navigation challenges.
