About
Xiaoyu Ji is a pioneering researcher in aerial robotics and manipulation, with a focus on enabling autonomous systems to interact safely and effectively with lightweight objects in complex environments. His major contributions center on addressing the critical challenge of rotorwash interference—the disruptive airflow from spinning rotor blades that destabilizes delicate payloads during aerial grasping. Ji developed a rotorwash-aware motion planning method for Chat-PM, a hybrid aerial-terrestrial vehicle equipped with a robotic arm, allowing it to grasp lightweight objects with unprecedented precision. This work, published in 2023 and garnering 10 citations, represents a significant step forward in aerial manipulation, bridging the gap between theoretical control and practical deployment. Ji’s research has implications for search-and-rescue, precision agriculture, and logistics, where gentle, stable object handling is essential. His innovative approach to motion planning, which accounts for aerodynamic disturbances, has been recognized as a key advancement in the field, making him a notable figure in the robotics community.
