About

Weiyan Shang is a robotics engineer focused on advancing mobile systems for complex and extreme environments. Their research primarily centers on the design, dynamics, and stability of exploration robots, with key contributions in wheel-tracked moving systems (WTMS) and underwater remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). Shang’s most cited work, “Design on a Composite Mobile System for Exploration Robot” (2016, 5 citations), introduced a novel WTMS architecture that combines wheel and track mechanisms to enhance mobility in challenging terrains. This was complemented by foundational research on ride performance optimization (2013, 3 citations), where Shang developed a compound mobile system with a rocker-bogie suspension and differential balance mechanism, using NSGA-II to optimize suspension parameters for improved ride comfort. More recently, Shang’s stability analysis of underwater engineering ROVs (2023, 3 citations) applied Lyapunov exponent methods to assess dynamic stability across six degrees of freedom, advancing the reliability of subsea robotic operations. Though early in their career, Shang’s work demonstrates a systematic approach to robot mobility—from virtual prototyping and dynamic modeling to multi-objective optimization—laying groundwork for future autonomous systems in both terrestrial and underwater exploration.
