About

Qimi Jiang is a robotics researcher whose work spans parallel mechanisms, aerial robotics, and autonomous navigation, with a particular focus on the geometric and kinematic challenges that define modern robot design. His most influential contributions center on cooperative aerial transport systems, where he developed foundational solutions to the inverse and direct kinematics of payloads suspended by multiple aerial robots using cables — work that has garnered over 115 and 32 citations respectively, establishing him as a key voice in multi-robot coordination. Alongside this, Jiang made significant strides in parallel mechanism analysis, particularly the Gough–Stewart platform, deriving algorithms to compute maximal singularity-free workspaces for both fixed and total orientation ranges — critical tools for practical robot design that have been widely cited in the field. His earlier work on planar 3-RPR parallel mechanisms further advanced geometric optimization methods for avoiding kinematic singularities. More recently, he extended his interests to autonomous mobile robotics, proposing a biologically inspired neural network approach for real-time navigation and mapping in unknown environments. Collectively, Jiang's research reflects a rigorous mathematical approach to robotics, bridging theoretical kinematics with real-world multi-robot applications.
