About

Dr. Liyuan Qi is a leading researcher in autonomous robotics for hazardous environments, with a primary focus on nuclear decommissioning and human-robot interaction. Her most impactful work, "Lessons learned: Symbiotic autonomous robot ecosystem for nuclear environments" (2023, 19 citations), provides critical insights into deploying multi-robot systems for radiation measurement during Post Operational Clean Out (POCO) phases. This research addresses the UK nuclear industry's regulatory requirements by developing collaborative robotic ecosystems that enhance safety and efficiency in high-risk settings. Dr. Qi's contributions extend to advanced teleoperation systems, as demonstrated in her 2024 work on "3D Hand Joint and Grasping Estimation for Teleoperation System," which leverages depth cameras and vision-based pose estimation to enable intuitive, gesture-controlled remote manipulation. By bridging the gap between human dexterity and robotic precision, her work is pivotal for tasks requiring fine motor control in inaccessible environments. With a growing citation record and a focus on real-world nuclear applications, Dr. Qi is establishing herself as a key innovator in symbiotic autonomy, where robots and humans work in concert to solve complex industrial challenges.
