About

Dr. Yiqiao Wang is a leading figure in autonomous navigation and perception for planetary exploration, with a primary focus on simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) in unstructured, extreme environments. Her seminal survey, "A survey of simultaneous localization and mapping on unstructured lunar complex environment" (2017, 13 citations), established a foundational framework for applying visual SLAM technology to lunar rovers, addressing the critical challenge of enabling intelligent perception and autonomous navigation on the Moon's rugged terrain. This work systematically analyzed the limitations of terrestrial SLAM algorithms in low-texture, high-contrast lunar landscapes and proposed key adaptations for visual sensor integration. Dr. Wang’s research bridges the gap between mobile robotics and space exploration, directly impacting the development of autonomous systems for future lunar missions. Her contributions have been instrumental in advancing the autonomous capabilities of planetary rovers, ensuring they can navigate safely and efficiently without real-time human intervention. Through her focused work on SLAM in complex environments, Dr. Wang continues to shape the trajectory of intelligent space robotics.
