About

Wei’s research lies at the intersection of robotics, precision manufacturing, and surface engineering, with a focus on developing intelligent automation solutions for complex industrial processes. His major contributions include pioneering path planning methods for robotic belt surface grinding, where he addressed the challenge of maintaining both efficiency and accuracy on sculptured surfaces by adapting tool contact based on local geometric features. This work, cited 5 times, established a framework for handling variable curvature in grinding paths. In aircraft component assembly, Wei introduced an auto-normalization algorithm for robotic precision drilling, achieving real-time normal vector detection and correction to within 0.5° accuracy using laser displacement sensors and a multi-functional end-effector. This innovation, with 3 citations, significantly improved drilling precision in aerospace manufacturing. He also developed a 6R robot-based high velocity arc spraying system for automotive remanufacturing, specifically for restoring worn diesel engine crankshafts, demonstrating the integration of robotics with thermal spray technology. Wei’s work bridges theoretical kinematics with practical automation, offering scalable solutions for high-precision tasks in aerospace and automotive industries, and his algorithms continue to inform modern robotic manufacturing systems.
