About
Yaen Xie is a leading researcher in space robotics, specializing in the dynamics, control, and autonomy of multi-manipulator systems for on-orbit assembly and servicing. His work addresses the fundamental challenge of operating robotic arms in the microgravity environment, where base disturbances and complex kinematics demand novel solutions. Xie’s most impactful contribution is his 2019 paper on obstacle avoidance and path planning for multi-joint space manipulators (38 citations), which provides a collision-free algorithm critical for capturing targets in cluttered orbital environments. He further advanced the field with his 2018 work on compensating base disturbances through optimal trajectory planning for dual-manipulator systems (32 citations), enabling precise coordination without destabilizing the spacecraft. His research extends to large translational and rotational maneuvers for in-space assembly (16 citations) and cross-coupling relative dynamics in rotating frames (12 citations), laying the groundwork for constructing large structures in orbit. Xie also developed adaptive optimal tracking control for manipulators under uncertainty (8 citations) and introduced integral dynamics modeling using n-order dual numbers (7 citations), offering a unified framework for chain-like space robots. With over 110 total citations, Xie’s work is pivotal for advancing autonomous robotic construction and maintenance in space.
