About

Dr. Yang-Yi Yang is a researcher in robotics, with a primary focus on cable-driven parallel robots and humanoid manipulator systems. His work centers on the mechanics and control of cable-driven mechanisms, particularly in analyzing the stiffness and workspace constraints of these flexible yet powerful robotic platforms. In his most cited paper, "Stiffness analysis of 3-DOF spherical joint based on cable-driven humanoid arm" (2010, 12 citations), Dr. Yang developed a forward kinematics and static torque balance model to characterize the stiffness of a cable-driven spherical joint, laying foundational groundwork for more dexterous and compliant humanoid arms. He further explored operational limits in "Tension restrained workspace analysis for cable-driven parallel robot" (2011), addressing the critical challenge of maintaining cable tension to ensure stable and safe robot motion. While his citation counts reflect a focused, early-career impact, Dr. Yang’s contributions are notable for addressing core mechanical constraints—stiffness and tension—that are essential for advancing cable-driven robots from theoretical designs to practical, reliable systems. His work provides valuable insights for researchers developing lightweight, high-performance robotic arms and parallel manipulators.
