About

Qingqing Wei is a leading robotics engineer whose research focuses on space manipulators and planetary exploration robots. He made his most prominent contribution as a key developer of the China Space Station core module manipulator—the country’s first large-scale space robotic system. This indigenous manipulator performs critical tasks such as large module transposition, auxiliary docking, and extravehicular support, representing a landmark achievement in Chinese space robotics. His work on this system has garnered 15 citations and is foundational to China’s permanent space station operations. Wei has also advanced planetary robotics, proposing TeCVP, a time-efficient control method for hexapod wheel-legged robots that simplifies complex control schemes for future Mars missions (6 citations). Additionally, his dimensional design method based on stability analysis enhances the traversability of heavy-duty hexapod robots over challenging terrains (3 citations). By bridging the gap between theoretical control and practical deployment, Wei’s research directly supports China’s ambitions in orbital assembly and extraterrestrial surface mobility, making him a pivotal figure in the next generation of space and planetary robotics.
