About

Yang Jian-zhong is a robotics engineer and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of space exploration systems, legged robot mechanics, and advanced motor control. His research has made meaningful contributions to the design and control of lunar exploration robots, with particular emphasis on cantilever-type legged landers and six-legged mobile repetitive landers that overcome the traditional limitations of separate lander-rover architectures. His most-cited work, a 2019 paper on dimension design methods using truss-mechanism transformation (42 citations), established a foundational framework for optimizing the structural geometry of legged landing systems. Beyond mechanical design, Yang has advanced robust control strategies for axial flux permanent magnet motors deployed on lunar legged robots, addressing real-world disturbances from environmental uncertainty — a critical challenge in extraterrestrial operations. More recently, his research has expanded into precision robotic manufacturing, developing adaptive optimal admittance control for blade grinding applications using reinforcement learning techniques. Collectively, his publications reflect a researcher bridging space robotics and intelligent control, with growing influence across lunar systems engineering and industrial automation communities.
