About
Zhengyou Xie is a pioneering researcher in space robotics, with a focus on developing intelligent, mobile systems for in-orbit servicing and satellite maintenance. His work centers on the design and control of space quadruped crawling robots—a novel class of robots capable of traversing complex satellite surfaces to perform inspection, repair, and assembly tasks. Xie’s major contributions include the initial design and implementation of a space quadruped crawling robot prototype (2021, 4 citations), which laid the groundwork for practical, legged locomotion in microgravity environments. More recently, he advanced trajectory planning for these robots with a study on path planning and optimization using an improved A* algorithm and B-spline curves (2025, 2 citations). This work addresses the critical challenge of safe navigation on densely packed satellite surfaces, proposing a framework that enhances both path efficiency and obstacle avoidance. Xie’s research is vital for the future of autonomous in-orbit operations, and his growing citation record reflects the increasing relevance of his contributions to the field of space robotics.
