About

Shi Ming Ji is a pioneering researcher in precision manufacturing, specializing in advanced polishing technologies for complex curved surfaces. His work centers on developing innovative, controllable polishing tools that address the critical challenge of achieving exact material removal depths on molds and free-form surfaces. Ji’s major contributions include the invention of the spinning-inflated-ballonet polishing tool, which uses an air-pressure-controlled spherical head covered with polishing cloth, and the magnetorheological flexible gasbag technique, which combines magnetorheological fluid’s rheological properties with rubber gasbag flexibility for superior adaptability. He also introduced a pulse technique using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to enhance precision in robotic gasbag polishing systems. While his most-cited papers (e.g., “Study of the Removing Depth of the Polishing Surface Based on a Novel Spinning-Inflated-Ballonet Polishing Tool” and “Magnetorheological Flexible Gasbag Polishing Technique”) have garnered modest citation counts, their foundational impact on automated polishing is significant, offering practical solutions for industries requiring high-precision surface finishing. Ji’s work remains influential for researchers and engineers seeking to improve robotic polishing efficiency and accuracy.
