About
Ming Su is a researcher specializing in robotics and advanced manufacturing, with a particular focus on thermal spray coating processes. Their key research areas include robot trajectory optimization, surface engineering, and automated manufacturing systems. Su's major contribution lies in developing algorithms for optimizing robot torch velocity on complex surfaces during thermal spray applications—a critical challenge in achieving uniform, high-quality coatings while maximizing productivity. Their 2015 paper, "A robot trajectory sample algorithm for optimizing thermal spraying torch velocity on the complex surface," addresses the fundamental problem of generating efficient robot trajectories for non-planar geometries, directly impacting industries such as aerospace, automotive, and biomedical device manufacturing where precise coating application is essential. While the paper has garnered 3 citations, its significance extends beyond raw citation counts, as it addresses a practical bottleneck in automated thermal spraying: the need for adaptive trajectory planning that maintains consistent standoff distance and velocity across curved substrates. Su's work bridges robotics and materials processing, offering solutions that enhance coating uniformity and deposition efficiency. This research contributes to the broader goal of intelligent manufacturing, where robots must dynamically adjust their movements to meet process-specific requirements on complex geometries.
