About

Wangmin Yi is a leading researcher in the field of robotic exoskeletons and space assembly automation. Their work focuses on the optimal design and motion planning of cable-driven parallel manipulators and heavy-load assembly robots. Yi’s most influential contribution is the optimal design of a 3-DOF cable-driven upper arm exoskeleton (2014, 29 citations), which leverages the advantages of large workspace, flexibility, and low inertia for rehabilitation robotics. This work addresses a critical challenge in exoskeleton design, demonstrating significant potential for practical applications. More recently, Yi has advanced spacecraft assembly with the design and motion planning of a 7-DOF assembly robot capable of handling heavy loads in confined spacecraft modules (2023, 26 citations). Additionally, they developed an end-effector for automatic assembly (2019), improving flexibility and safety over traditional manual methods. With a growing citation impact, Yi’s research bridges rehabilitation robotics and aerospace automation, offering innovative solutions for human-robot interaction and precision manufacturing in challenging environments.
