About

Yian Qian is a rising researcher in the field of robotics, specializing in robot dynamics, adaptive control, and human-robot interaction. Their work focuses on enhancing the precision and robustness of robotic manipulators, particularly in uncertain or unstructured environments. Qian’s most cited paper, “One-Step Identification of Robot Physical Dynamic Parameters Considering the Velocity-Load Friction Model” (2024, 9 citations), introduces a novel friction model that significantly improves the accuracy of dynamic parameter identification by accounting for joint loads. Another key contribution, “A Novel Robust Adaptive Impedance Control Scheme for Contact Force Tracking With Unknown Environment” (2025, 7 citations), addresses a critical challenge in modern robotics—tracking desired forces on unknown surfaces—without requiring prior environmental information. Qian has also advanced model-free control methods, such as the prescribed performance fast nonsingular terminal sliding mode control (2023, 6 citations), which ensures practical finite-time stability for uncertain robot manipulators. With additional work on obstacle avoidance and sliding surface design, Qian’s research is shaping safer, more adaptive robotic systems. Their growing citation record reflects a strong impact on both theoretical control and practical robotics applications.
