About

Yonghui Xie is a leading researcher in the field of robotic non-destructive inspection, with a primary focus on aircraft skin defect analysis. His work bridges the gap between autonomous data acquisition and intelligent defect detection, creating a comprehensive pipeline for aviation maintenance. His most notable contribution is a systematic review published in 2025, which, in accordance with PRISMA 2020 guidelines, analyzed 73 publications spanning nearly three decades (1997–2025). This seminal paper synthesizes advancements in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-based inspection, covering everything from sensor deployment to algorithmic defect classification. While still early in its citation impact, the review has already garnered attention for its rigorous methodology and forward-looking perspective, establishing Xie as a key synthesizer in this rapidly evolving domain. His work is particularly valuable for researchers and engineers seeking a holistic understanding of robotic inspection systems, offering a structured roadmap for future innovations in automated aircraft maintenance and safety assurance.
