About

Jiaoteng Ding is a researcher specializing in precision optical manufacturing and robotic polishing systems. His work focuses on the challenging task of fabricating heavy-calibre off-axis aspheric surfaces, which are critical components in advanced telescopes and imaging systems. Ding’s major contribution lies in adapting industrial robots—specifically the ABB IRB6640—as flexible, cost-effective platforms for optical polishing. He has developed rigorous coordinate transformation algorithms using Euler angles and quaternions to ensure precise tool-path control, and has innovated with both M-like and Gaussian-like removal functions to optimize surface accuracy. His 2019 paper on this topic has garnered 5 citations, establishing a foundation for further research in robotic optical fabrication. By bridging industrial robotics with high-precision optics, Ding’s work offers a scalable alternative to traditional, expensive polishing machines, making advanced optical components more accessible. His contributions are particularly relevant for researchers in precision engineering, manufacturing automation, and astronomical instrumentation.
