About

Xiaoze Cheng is a robotics engineer specializing in automated welding systems, with a particular focus on portable, all-position robotic solutions for complex industrial applications. His key research areas include welding robot kinematics, seam tracking, and the mathematical modeling of intersecting pipe joints. Cheng’s most notable contribution is the development of a portable all-position special welding robot designed for the challenging task of welding intersected pipes. In his 2011 paper on this work, he established a rigorous mathematical model of the welding seam and provided a complete design procedure, analyzing the robot's task and motion with precise mathematical descriptions. While his most-cited paper has garnered 2 citations, reflecting the niche and applied nature of his work, Cheng’s research addresses critical needs in industrial automation, particularly for confined or difficult-to-access welding environments. His contributions are valuable for advancing robotic welding in sectors like shipbuilding, pipeline construction, and structural fabrication, where precision and portability are paramount.
