About
Dr. Yan‐Feng Li is a leading researcher in the field of reliability engineering, with a specific focus on the performance and safety of industrial robotic systems. His work masterfully bridges advanced statistical modeling and mechanical design, primarily addressing the critical challenge of ensuring long-term operational reliability in complex machinery. Dr. Li’s major contributions include pioneering the use of Kriging surrogate models for time-variant reliability analysis, a breakthrough that allows engineers to predict failures in industrial robot RV reducers under multiple, interacting failure modes. He has also developed novel frameworks for analyzing positioning accuracy reliability using differential kinematics and saddlepoint approximation, providing a rigorous mathematical basis for assessing robot precision over time. His highly cited publications—including his 2020 paper on RV reducers (78 citations) and his 2021 work on positioning accuracy (61 citations)—demonstrate the significant impact of his research on both academic theory and practical industrial design. Through these achievements, Dr. Li has established himself as a key figure in advancing the durability and precision of modern automation systems.
