About
Lewei Tang is a distinguished researcher in precision robotics and large-scale astronomical instrumentation, best known for his foundational contributions to the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) project. His work centers on error modeling, accuracy analysis, and structural dynamics of hybrid support robots, particularly addressing the complex challenges of maintaining receiver positioning precision in the world’s largest radio telescope. Tang’s seminal 2012 paper on error modeling for FAST’s multi-level hybrid feed support robot, though with modest citation counts, represents a critical technical breakthrough in understanding how cabin time-varying barycenter and structural deformation affect terminal receiver pose errors—a problem essential to achieving the sub-arcsecond tracking accuracy required for astronomical observations. His research bridges mechanical engineering, control systems, and observational astronomy, demonstrating how precision robotics enables cutting-edge astrophysical discovery. Tang’s work on FAST has been instrumental in ensuring the telescope’s operational success, making him a key figure in advancing large-scale scientific instrumentation and inspiring future engineers tackling extreme-precision positioning challenges in astronomy and beyond.
