About
Dr. Jiapei Xu is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on the mechanics and control of specialized climbing robots, particularly for industrial inspection and maintenance. Her key research areas include wall-climbing robot locomotion, wheel-wall contact mechanics, and adsorption performance on curved surfaces. Dr. Xu’s major contribution lies in her detailed analysis of the positional and orientational dynamics of four-wheel wall-climbing robots operating on cylindrical tanks—a critical challenge for non-destructive testing in the petrochemical and storage industries. Her 2021 paper, "Research on Position and orientation of Wheel-wall Contact for Four-Wheel Wall-Climbing Robot Working on Cylindrical Tank," systematically examines how contact point geometry and robot orientation affect adsorption stability, providing foundational insights for designing more reliable climbing robots on curved structures. While her work has garnered modest citation counts to date, it addresses a niche but essential problem in field robotics, bridging theoretical contact mechanics with practical application. Dr. Xu’s research is particularly valuable for engineers developing autonomous inspection systems for large-scale cylindrical infrastructure, where maintaining secure adhesion during motion is paramount.
