About
Xili Yi is a roboticist whose research lies at the intersection of dexterous manipulation and advanced manufacturing. Her work focuses on enabling robots to handle complex physical interactions, particularly in frictional contact and high-viscosity fluid deposition. In her highly cited 2023 paper, Yi introduced the *asymmetric dual limit surface* model for precise object sliding via top contact—a novel framework that determines slip boundaries for both the top and bottom surfaces, advancing the mechanics of planar manipulation. This work has garnered 6 citations and is foundational for tasks requiring delicate, controlled sliding. Yi has also made significant contributions to additive and robotic manufacturing. Her 2022 and 2024 papers on *lumped-parameter modeling and control* for high-viscosity fluid deposition address critical challenges in adhesive dispensing and soft robotics fabrication. By developing flow models and compensation strategies that mitigate transient delays and nonlinearity, she has improved the quality and reliability of deposited materials. With a total of 12 citations across her top papers, Yi’s work bridges theoretical mechanics and practical control, offering impactful solutions for manufacturing automation. Her achievements highlight her as a rising leader in robotic manipulation and process control.
