About

Jiuhua Li is a robotics engineer and researcher whose work centers on the design and development of specialized robotic systems for industrial surface maintenance, particularly in the maritime sector. Li's most recognized contributions focus on wall-climbing robots equipped with permanent magnetic adsorption mechanisms, addressing the practical challenges of ship hull maintenance such as derusting and surface cleaning — tasks that are hazardous and labor-intensive when performed manually. Among Li's notable achievements is the structural design of a crawler-type permanent magnetic adsorption wall-climbing robot, developed using SOLIDWORKS for three-dimensional modeling and supported by rigorous static force analysis. This work, cited 14 times, demonstrates a systems-level approach to integrating adsorption and cleaning functionalities into a single robotic platform. A closely related study on permanent magnet adsorption units, cited 11 times, further refined the track-based design by incorporating modular magnetic units linked by chains — enhancing both adhesion reliability and locomotive flexibility on curved hull surfaces. Li's research contributes meaningfully to the growing field of service robotics, offering practical engineering solutions that improve safety and efficiency in shipbuilding and maintenance industries. These works serve as valuable references for researchers and engineers exploring magnetic locomotion and climbing robot design.
