About

Lihang Feng is a robotics researcher whose work centers on planetary exploration, wheel–terrain interaction (WTI), and sensor design for extraterrestrial rovers. A key contribution is the development of an instrumented wheel (IW) for the wheel-on-limb system, enabling precise measurement of forces between rover wheels and sandy terrains—critical for improving traversability on other planets. This work, published in 2022, has garnered 21 citations and led to further innovations, including a novel multiaxis force sensor for decoupling load measurements in WTI (2024, 11 citations). Feng has also advanced human-robot interaction, applying YOLO networks for object detection and tracking on NAO robots (2018, 13 citations), and contributed to multi-robot olfaction for locating contaminant sources in indoor environments (2022, 13 citations). Earlier work includes a review of Delta-like parallel manipulators (2014, 9 citations) and kinematic calibration for robotic endoscopic microsurgery (2016, 8 citations). With a focus on sensor design, calibration, and real-world deployment, Feng’s research directly supports autonomous navigation and environmental perception in challenging terrains, making impactful strides in both planetary robotics and terrestrial robotic systems.
