About
Yuanfeng Duan is a leading researcher in the field of robotic structural inspection, with a primary focus on climbing robots, building information modeling (BIM), and automated path planning for civil infrastructure. His most cited work, "Complete‐coverage path planning for surface inspection of cable‐stayed bridge tower based on building information models and climbing robots" (2025, 21 citations), addresses a critical bottleneck in the deployment of climbing robots for infrastructure maintenance. Duan’s key contribution lies in developing a novel framework that integrates BIM with robotic path-planning algorithms, enabling autonomous, complete-coverage inspection of complex structures like bridge towers—a task previously hindered by the lack of effective environment perception. This work has significant implications for improving safety and efficiency in structural health monitoring, reducing reliance on manual control. With 21 citations in a short time, his research is gaining rapid recognition for its practical impact. Duan’s achievements highlight his role in advancing the intersection of robotics and civil engineering, offering scalable solutions for automated surface inspection in challenging environments.
