About

Shanshan Jin is a leading researcher in the field of robotic inspection systems, with a primary focus on the automation of non-destructive testing for large-scale industrial pressure vessels. Her most significant contributions center on the development of specialized wall-climbing robots for spherical tank inspection, addressing the critical need for safe, efficient, and cost-effective alternatives to dangerous manual weld inspections. Jin’s work is particularly notable for its innovative integration of Mecanum wheels and advanced path planning algorithms, enabling robots to navigate complex curved surfaces with precision. Her 2021 paper on weld line recognition and path planning, which has garnered 52 citations, stands as her most impactful work, demonstrating a complete robotic system for autonomous tank inspection. Additionally, her earlier research into actuation using artificial pneumatic muscles (19 citations) showcases a foundational interest in creating more compliant, elastic robotic motion, moving beyond traditional motor-driven systems. Through her design of support and positioning mechanisms for internal tank inspection, Jin has tackled the formidable challenge of maintaining accurate positioning on concave surfaces, solidifying her reputation as a key innovator in industrial robotics and automated safety inspection.
