About

Ye Dai is a robotics researcher whose work spans space robotics, motion planning, and advanced robotic system design. Specializing in trajectory planning, compliance control, and modular robotics, Dai has established a strong presence in both terrestrial and orbital robotic applications. Dai's most influential contribution, a comprehensive review of spatial robotic arm trajectory planning (2022, 67 citations), has become a key reference for researchers navigating the rapidly evolving field of in-orbit servicing and space manipulation. Complementing this, a highly cited review of end-effector compliance control (2022, 27 citations) has helped shape understanding of how robotic tools interact safely and precisely with workpieces across industrial and space environments. Beyond reviews, Dai's original research includes innovative path-planning solutions for cellular robots operating on orbital trusses, combining ant colony and gravitational search algorithms to tackle real-world space station challenges. Work on modular robotic reconfiguration and climbing robot technologies further demonstrates a broad yet cohesive research vision centered on adaptable, mission-capable robotic systems. With cumulative citations exceeding 125, Dai's research offers valuable insights for students and engineers working at the intersection of space technology, autonomous systems, and advanced robotic design.
