About

Xuyang Cao is a pioneering researcher in space robotics and intelligent control systems, with a primary focus on bio-inspired mechanisms for non-cooperative spacecraft capture and advanced mobile robot locomotion. His most influential work, the "Bio-inspired anti-impact manipulator for capturing non-cooperative spacecraft: theory and experiment" (2020), has garnered 75 citations, establishing a novel framework for designing compliant, impact-resistant robotic grippers inspired by biological systems—critical for safely grappling tumbling or uncooperative satellites in orbit. This contribution addresses a fundamental challenge in on-orbit servicing and debris removal, offering both theoretical modeling and experimental validation. More recently, Cao has advanced wheel-legged robot control, as seen in his 2024 paper on "Algorithm Design of a Variable Height Wheel-Legged Robot with Fuzzy Theory and PID Fusion Control," which tackles the nonlinear underactuated dynamics of hybrid locomotion platforms for logistics and distribution. By integrating fuzzy logic with PID control, his work enhances balancing robustness in real-world terrains. Cao’s research bridges bio-inspiration and practical robotics, with his anti-impact manipulator standing as a landmark achievement in space robotics, while his ongoing work in mobile robot control demonstrates versatility in addressing terrestrial automation challenges.
