About
Dr. Jing Feng is a pioneering roboticist whose work bridges industrial inspection and large-scale manufacturing automation. Her key research areas include mobile robotics for hazardous environments, multi-robot coordination, and intelligent navigation systems. Dr. Feng’s most notable contribution is the development of the RobTank mobile robot, a groundbreaking platform designed for in-service inspection of oil, petroleum, and chemical storage tanks. This robot can enter tanks through openings as small as 300 mm and operate while submerged in liquid, eliminating the costly and time-consuming need for tank emptying, cleaning, and manual inspection—a solution that has garnered 11 citations and significant industrial interest. In parallel, her work on multi-robot coordination for boat block posture alignment, published in 2002 with 6 citations, introduced a novel system architecture and coordinated manipulation method using multiple 3DOF mobile robots. This innovation enables the precise merging of huge, heavy boat blocks, revolutionizing shipbuilding efficiency. Dr. Feng’s research demonstrates a unique ability to solve real-world industrial challenges through elegant robotic systems, making her a respected figure in applied robotics and automation.
