About
Yuegang Tan is a versatile robotics and advanced manufacturing researcher whose work spans an impressive breadth of disciplines, from intelligent automation and flexible sensing to nonholonomic control systems. His early foundational contributions focused on the control of wheeled mobile robots and trailer systems, demonstrating that tractor-trailer configurations could be stabilized through nonholonomic motion planning — work that garnered over 100 combined citations. He has since made significant strides in robotic disassembly automation, with his collaborative robot system for unfastening hexagonal screws (94 citations) advancing the economic viability of remanufacturing. More recently, Tan has pioneered bioinspired flexible and stretchable sensing technologies, developing fiber-based wearable sensors, AI-motivated optical fiber tactile systems, and polymer-based health monitoring devices that bridge human-machine interaction with clinical applications. His work on six-dimensional force sensors for orthopedic surgery robots and quality estimation in resistance spot welding further demonstrates his commitment to translating intelligent sensing into real-world industrial and medical contexts. With multiple highly cited papers across robotics, wearable electronics, and smart manufacturing, Tan represents a compelling example of interdisciplinary engineering research with direct societal impact.
