About

Qiyu He is a pioneering researcher in the field of sports robotics, with a specialized focus on table tennis automation and ball dynamics. His work centers on the critical challenge of enabling robots to perceive, predict, and physically interact with high-speed spinning objects—a problem that sits at the intersection of computer vision, control theory, and mechanical engineering. He’s best known for developing a novel trajectory-based method for estimating ball spin, a breakthrough that directly addresses the sport industry’s growing demand for quantitative performance analysis. His most cited paper (2023, 16 citations) introduces this spin estimation algorithm, while a subsequent study (2023, 9 citations) tackles the even harder problem of controlling a robot’s return stroke under extreme spin and velocity conditions. Together, these contributions represent a significant step toward closing the gap between human and robotic dexterity in fast-paced sports. By systematically improving control accuracy in milliseconds, He’s work not only advances table tennis robotics but also provides a foundational framework for any application requiring rapid, precise manipulation of moving objects—from industrial automation to assistive technologies.
