About
Shaojin Han is a leading figure in planetary exploration robotics, with a focus on extraterrestrial terrain characterization and autonomous rover navigation. His key research areas include lunar regolith analysis, digital twin modeling, and robotic locomotion in extreme environments. Han’s most notable contribution is the development of a tri-aspect characterization framework for lunar farside regolith, demonstrated through a groundbreaking 2024 study that used a digital twin of the Yutu-2 rover to investigate a fin-shaped rock at the Longji site. This work, which has already garnered 20 citations, showcased innovative techniques for navigating perilous lunar peaks and managing multi-form wheel slippage—critical challenges for future missions. By extending the rover’s locomotion margin on hazardous terrain, Han’s research directly enhances the operational capabilities of planetary rovers, enabling safer and more efficient exploration of the Moon’s far side. His achievements are recognized as pivotal for advancing in-situ resource utilization and geological studies, positioning him as a key contributor to China’s lunar exploration program and inspiring new approaches to autonomous space robotics.
