About
Dr. Sun Yi is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of cybersecurity, robotics, and non-destructive evaluation (NDE). Their work focuses on two core areas: securing industrial and robotic systems against cyber threats, and developing autonomous robotic methods for inspecting critical infrastructure. Dr. Yi’s most impactful contribution is the comprehensive survey on network-based intrusion detection systems (NIDS) for industrial and robotics environments, which has already garnered 15 citations since its 2024 publication—a strong indicator of its timely importance. This work addresses the unique challenges of deploying NIDS in settings where safety and real-time operation are paramount. In parallel, Dr. Yi has advanced the field of robotic NDE, pioneering the use of 3D vision cameras, impact-echo, and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) for assessing concrete structures. Their 2019 study on robotic NDE of reinforced concrete has been recognized internationally, and subsequent work has explored integrating GPR with autonomous platforms. Demonstrating remarkable breadth, Dr. Yi has also investigated neural signal classification for brain-controlled robotic arms, and reviewed nature-inspired designs for uncrewed ground vehicles. This diverse portfolio—spanning from cyber defense to physical inspection and human-robot interaction—positions Dr. Yi as a versatile innovator shaping the future of safe, autonomous systems.
