About
Xiaocai Hu is a leading researcher in intelligent manufacturing and robotic automation for the shipbuilding industry, with a specific focus on large-scale coating processes. Hu’s work addresses critical challenges in automating the spraying of complex ship blocks, a domain where precision, efficiency, and environmental compliance are paramount. A major contribution is the development of a nine-axis gantry spraying robot system, designed to overcome the limitations of existing automated equipment for intricate ship geometries. Through kinematic analysis and workspace optimization, Hu has pioneered methods to ensure comprehensive coverage and motion feasibility for these massive structures. Further advancing the field, Hu has applied multi-objective evolutionary computation to optimize spraying trajectory planning, directly addressing a real-world shipyard case to balance product quality with processing speed. With over 7 citations across key publications from 2021 to 2025, Hu’s work is foundational for modernizing China’s shipbuilding industry, offering resource-saving, environmentally friendly solutions that are both theoretically rigorous and practically deployable.
