About
Yansheng Li is a pioneering researcher in the field of spherical robotics, with a primary focus on underwater exploration and energy-efficient locomotion. His work centers on the design, hydrodynamic analysis, and control of novel spherical underwater robots—particularly the BYSQ-2 and BYSQ-3 series—which leverage heavy pendulums for attitude adjustment and spherical shells for high compressive strength and low steering resistance. Li’s major contributions include the development of underactuated control strategies for point stabilization and fluctuation suppression, as well as the introduction of regenerative damping for energy-saving rolling speed control. His most-cited paper, on energy-saving control (9 citations), highlights his innovative approach to merging mechanical design with advanced control theory. Through fluid dynamics simulations and experimental validation, Li has systematically characterized coupling hydrodynamic forces and optimized robot dimensions for underwater mobility. His work has direct applications in military surveillance, scientific investigation, and underwater image acquisition. With a cumulative citation count exceeding 40 across his top papers, Li is recognized for advancing the practical deployment of spherical robots in challenging aquatic environments.
