About
Zhihui Xue is a leading researcher in space robotics and automation, with a primary focus on in-space assembly (ISA) technologies, dual-arm space robots, and reconfigurable robotic systems. Xue’s seminal 2020 review of in-space assembly technologies, which has garnered 214 citations, provides a comprehensive roadmap for constructing large space structures directly in orbit—a critical capability for future deep-space missions. Building on this foundation, Xue has made significant contributions to minimizing base disturbance during target capture by dual-arm space robots (2023, 26 citations) and optimizing closed-chain inertia matching for reconfigurable space robots (2024, 5 citations). Earlier foundational work on scheduling in reentrant robotic cells (2005, 17 citations) and traveling salesman problems on permuted Monge matrices (2005, 10 citations) established Xue’s expertise in algorithmic complexity and optimization. More recently, Xue has advanced acceleration-level coordinated control under hard joint constraints (2025, 3 citations) and investigated the stability of modular multi-legged robots with non-isomorphic configurations (2024, 2 citations). This body of work, spanning both theoretical scheduling algorithms and practical space robotic control, positions Xue as a pivotal figure bridging foundational operations research and cutting-edge space automation.
