About
Dr. Yigang He is a pioneering researcher whose work bridges the frontiers of cooperative robotics and soft actuation technologies. His early, highly influential contributions center on distributed finite-time cooperative control for multi-robot systems, most notably his 2016 paper on multiple high-order nonholonomic mobile robots, which has garnered 185 citations. This work introduced a novel finite-time controller that ensures state consensus among complex, chained robotic formations—a foundational advance for autonomous swarm coordination. Dr. He has also made significant strides in optimal control theory for differential-algebraic systems, developing efficient computational methods using implicit Runge–Kutta integration. More recently, his research has shifted toward soft robotics and human–machine interaction, where he designs and experimentally validates innovative pneumatic actuators for assistive devices. His 2025 study on nested pneumatic soft actuators for hand exoskeletons, along with his two-way fluid–structure interaction simulations for finger-like actuators under high-speed pressurization, demonstrate his commitment to creating lightweight, safe, and responsive rehabilitation technologies. Through this trajectory from theoretical control to practical soft robotics, Dr. He continues to shape the future of intelligent, human-centered robotic systems.
