About
Jingrui Zhang is a leading researcher in space robotics, specializing in the dynamics, planning, and control of multi-arm and reconfigurable systems for on-orbit servicing and assembly. Her work directly addresses the challenges of autonomous manipulation in space, from path planning for multi-arm robots maneuvering on space stations to formation control for assembling large solar sails. A key contribution is her development of a detumbling strategy for fast-tumbling targets using a dual-arm robot with finger-type end effectors, a critical capability for safely capturing and stabilizing uncontrolled debris or satellites. She has also advanced the field with a modified constraint force algorithm for flexible multibody dynamics and trajectory planning for reconfigurable space robots with lockable joints. Her most cited paper, "Path Planning and Collision Avoidance for a Multi-Arm Space Maneuverable Robot" (2017), has garnered 71 citations, reflecting its foundational impact. With a portfolio spanning coordinated target localization and non-cooperative target co-localization, Zhang’s research is instrumental in enabling the next generation of autonomous, multi-robot space missions, directly supporting the future of in-orbit construction and debris remediation.
