About
Yan Wei is a robotics researcher whose work spans legged locomotion, mobile manipulation, and autonomous underwater systems, with a particular focus on advancing the kinematic and dynamic modeling of complex robotic platforms. His most influential contribution, "Whole-body Kinematic and Dynamic Modeling for Quadruped Robot Under Different Gaits and Mechanism Topologies" (2021, 20 citations), introduced screw theory-based methods to more accurately capture the full-body dynamics of quadruped robots across varied terrains and configurations — moving well beyond the simplified models that have historically constrained the field. His research on humanoid mobile dual-arm manipulator systems (16 citations) further demonstrated his breadth, applying an improved MaxiMin NSGA-II algorithm to enable human-like autonomous navigation and manipulation. Wei has also made meaningful contributions to biped robot design, drawing on biomechanical inspiration from ostriches and spring-mass models to address the inherently complex kinematics of two-legged platforms. More recently, he has extended his expertise to autonomous underwater vehicles designed for narrow-passage navigation. Across seven key publications accumulating nearly 60 citations, Wei has established himself as a versatile and rigorous contributor to modern robotics research, bridging theoretical modeling with practical system design.
