About

Yongsheng Yao is a researcher specializing in precision optical manufacturing and robotic polishing systems. His work focuses on the application of industrial robots for fabricating complex optical components, particularly heavy-calibre off-axis aspheric surfaces—a challenging area in modern optics. Yao’s major contribution lies in developing coordinate transformation algorithms, including Euler angles and quaternion methods, to enable precise robotic control for optical polishing. He has demonstrated the use of an ABB IRB6640 industrial robot as a processing platform, employing both M-like and Gaussian-like removal functions to achieve high surface accuracy. His most-cited paper (2019) has garnered 5 citations, reflecting growing interest in robotic optical fabrication. Yao’s research bridges robotics and optical engineering, offering cost-effective alternatives to traditional polishing methods. His work is notable for addressing the practical challenges of aligning coordinate systems and optimizing removal functions for aspheric surfaces, making him a key figure in advancing automated precision optics.
