About

Haoyu Wang is a robotics researcher whose work spans modular self-assembly, bio-inspired micro air vehicles, and human-robot collaboration for space operations. His most cited paper, “Design and Experiments of a Compact Self-Assembling Mobile Modular Robot with Joint Actuation and Onboard Visual-Based Perception” (2022, 16 citations), introduces robots that autonomously interconnect to form larger structures, enabling traversal of complex terrains beyond the reach of individual units. In parallel, his review of flapping-wing robotic insects (2013, 16 citations) surveys fabrication and power electronics for centimeter-scale flying robots inspired by biology, targeting applications in exploration and environmental monitoring. Wang has also contributed to NASA’s strategic goals through research on teleoperating collaborative robots with virtual reality for in-space maintenance and repair (2017, 8 citations; 2019, 5 citations). His work on REGNet (2020, 6 citations) advances robotic grasping by learning robust grasp representations from point clouds, while his recent K-BIT* algorithm (2025, 3 citations) improves mobile robot path planning with kinematic constraints and adaptive sampling. With over 54 citations across these six papers, Wang demonstrates a strong trajectory in developing practical, perception-driven robotic systems for challenging environments.
