About

Qihao Zhang is a robotics researcher whose work spans space robotics, robotic motion planning, and emergency response systems. His most influential contribution, a comprehensive review of spatial robotic arm trajectory planning (2022, 67 citations), has become a key reference for researchers working on in-orbit servicing technologies, systematically examining how robotic arms can safely and efficiently replace humans in demanding space environments. Complementing this, his review of end-effector compliance control (2022, 27 citations) addresses the critical interface between robots and their working environment, advancing understanding of how mechanical design choices directly affect operational quality and application scope. Zhang also demonstrated his breadth through a widely recognized survey of nuclear emergency response robots (2018, 26 citations), cataloguing global developments following the Fukushima disaster and highlighting China's growing contributions to this vital field. His more recent work on three-dimensional truss path planning using an improved sparrow algorithm reflects his ongoing commitment to solving complex real-world navigation challenges for on-orbit cellular robots. Across his body of work, Zhang consistently bridges theoretical foundations with practical engineering needs, making him a valuable voice in the future of autonomous space and hazardous-environment robotics.
