About

Yaoyao Shi is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of advanced manufacturing, robotics, and composite materials engineering. Best known for pioneering contributions to robotic fibre placement (RFP), Shi has developed accurate and efficient methods for roller path generation on free-form surfaces, a foundational 2013 paper that has garnered 64 citations and remains a cornerstone reference in automated composite manufacturing. His research spans thermoplastic and thermoset composites, addressing critical challenges such as residual stress optimization, damage initiation in metal-carbon fiber hybrids, and multi-pass layup processes for thermoplastic systems. Beyond composites, Shi has made notable contributions to robotic motion planning, developing C²-continuous orientation planning using B-spline and logarithmic quaternion methods, as well as hybrid polynomial interpolation techniques for smooth, constraint-aware joint trajectories in industrial robots. His work on belt polishing of aeroengine blades further demonstrates his breadth, applying adaptive control and parameter optimization strategies to improve surface quality in aerospace manufacturing. With over 200 cumulative citations across his most impactful publications, Shi's research offers practical, high-precision solutions that bridge theoretical robotics and real-world aerospace manufacturing challenges.
