About

Weidong Cheng is a leading researcher in advanced robotics and intelligent manufacturing, with a primary focus on high-speed motion control and automated surface strengthening technologies. His most impactful work, "Study on High-Speed and Smooth Transfer of Robot Motion Trajectory Based on Modified S-Shaped Acceleration/Deceleration Algorithm" (2020, 19 citations), introduces a novel control algorithm that enables industrial robots to perform rapid, smooth transitions during pick-and-place and obstacle avoidance tasks—a critical advancement for modern automation. Cheng further demonstrates his expertise in precision manufacturing through his research on robotic ultrasonic surface strengthening for turbine blades (2019, 7 citations), where he developed a path planning method integrating nonlinear isotropic strengthening–kinematic hardening models to optimize dynamic responses. This work directly addresses the challenge of automating the strengthening of complex aerospace components. By combining trajectory optimization with material science, Cheng’s contributions enhance both the speed and quality of robotic operations, offering practical solutions for industries requiring high-efficiency, high-precision automation. His research continues to influence the development of smarter, more adaptive manufacturing systems.
