About
Nan Han is a leading researcher in the field of space robotics, with a primary focus on on-orbit assembly and modular robotic systems. Her work addresses the critical challenge of constructing large-scale structures in space, where traditional launch constraints make pre-assembly impossible. Han’s major contributions center on developing cooperative control strategies for modular robots tasked with transporting substructures during assembly missions. In her highly cited 2021 paper, she introduced a novel cooperative game method that coordinates two distinct types of modular robots—force and torque robots—to provide precise control for substructure transportation, achieving over 27 citations and establishing a foundational framework for future space construction. She further advanced this area with robust coordinated control techniques that operate under distributed information constraints, ensuring system resilience even with limited communication. Han’s research is pivotal for enabling autonomous, scalable space infrastructure, from satellite repair to orbital habitats. Her work not only demonstrates technical innovation but also practical impact, offering solutions that reduce human risk and increase mission efficiency. For students and researchers, Han exemplifies how robotics and game theory can converge to solve real-world space engineering problems.
