About

Hengyang Mu is a robotics researcher focused on advancing intelligent robotic systems for industrial inspection and manipulation. His work centers on three key areas: virtual reality (VR)-enhanced robot navigation, motion planning for robotic arms, and novel mechanical structures for adaptive stiffness control. Mu’s major contributions include the development of a VR-based navigation system for in-oil tank inspection robots, addressing the critical need for non-invasive corrosion detection in large oil storage tanks—a safety innovation with 4 citations. He also proposed the PR-RRT* algorithm, an improved sampling-based motion planner for 6-DOF robotic arms that optimizes path efficiency and collision avoidance, building on the RRT* framework (3 citations). Additionally, Mu designed a new rigid-soft coupling structure with an adjustable stiffness device, enabling robots to dynamically modulate their compliance for delicate tasks (2 citations). While his citation counts are modest, these works demonstrate foundational contributions to practical robotics challenges. Mu’s research bridges virtual reality, motion planning, and mechanical design, offering tangible solutions for hazardous environment automation—a promising trajectory for a rising researcher in field robotics.
