About

Mujia Shi is a robotics researcher specializing in terramechanics, mobile robot dynamics, and sensor design for planetary exploration. Her work focuses on understanding and measuring the complex interactions between robotic vehicles and terrain, particularly in off-road and extraterrestrial environments. In her 2018 study on tracked mobile robots, she established dynamic models incorporating slip and centrifugal forces during steering, providing critical insights into vehicle stability and control—work that has garnered foundational citations in the field. More recently, Shi led the design and calibration of a novel multiaxis force sensor for planetary rovers, enabling precise measurement of wheel–terrain interaction forces and moments. This 2025 contribution, already cited three times, represents a significant advancement in environmental perception for autonomous navigation on challenging surfaces like lunar or Martian regolith. By bridging theoretical dynamics with practical sensing solutions, Shi’s research supports safer, more efficient robotic mobility in unstructured terrains. Her achievements highlight a commitment to pushing the boundaries of robotic exploration, making her work essential reading for students and engineers interested in mobile robotics, sensor innovation, and space exploration technologies.
