About
Shuji Yang is a leading researcher in space robotics, with a particular focus on dual-arm robotic systems designed for on-orbit servicing, assembly, and target capture. His work addresses some of the most technically demanding challenges in autonomous space operations, including coordinated motion control, trajectory planning, and the management of complex coupling dynamics in microgravity environments. Yang's most cited contribution, "Coordinated motion control of a dual-arm space robot for assembling modular parts" (2020, 46 citations), established foundational strategies for robotic in-space assembly — a capability increasingly vital for future space infrastructure. His subsequent work on capturing space targets (35 citations) and trajectory planning for base manoeuvring (29 citations) further solidified his reputation as a key voice in cooperative manipulation under the unique constraints of orbital mechanics. Notably, Yang has also tackled the nuanced problem of flexible appendages — such as solar panels and antennas — whose vibrations create destabilizing coupling effects on a robot's rigid base during operations. His prototype development work (2023) demonstrates a commitment to translating theory into functional hardware. Collectively, his publications reflect a rigorous and application-driven research agenda shaping the future of autonomous space robotics.
