About
Zhi-Yuan Zhang and Xue Deng are emerging researchers in the field of robotics and renewable energy systems, with a focused interest in automation for photovoltaic (solar) panel maintenance. Their key research area lies in developing intelligent control systems and path planning algorithms for specialized cleaning robots, addressing a critical bottleneck in solar energy efficiency. Their major contribution is a novel design and path planning method for a photovoltaic panel cleaning robot, which tackles the dual challenges of dust and sand accumulation—a problem that can reduce power generation efficiency by up to 30%—and the high operational costs of manual cleaning. While their most cited work, published in 2024, has garnered 2 citations, its practical significance is notable for proposing an automated solution that can extend panel lifespan and reduce water usage. This work represents a foundational step toward scalable, cost-effective solar farm maintenance, with potential applications in arid regions where dust buildup is severe. Their research bridges robotics, control theory, and sustainable energy, offering a promising avenue for future innovations in smart grid infrastructure and autonomous field operations.
