About

Ji Liang is a leading researcher in space robotics and human-robot interaction, whose work addresses critical challenges in autonomous manipulation and teleoperation. His primary research areas include detumbling strategies for space debris, semi-autonomous teleoperation with force feedback, and robust robotic grasping in unstructured environments. Liang’s most impactful contribution is a detumbling strategy based on friction control for dual-arm space robots, which provides a practical solution for capturing tumbling targets in orbit—a key hurdle for debris removal and satellite servicing. This work has garnered 61 citations, underscoring its significance in the field. He has also advanced human-robot collaboration by developing semi-autonomous teleoperation systems with force feedback, enhancing operator efficiency in remote tasks. More recently, Liang has explored visual reconstruction and localization for 6-DoF grasping in wild environments, pushing industrial robots beyond limited top-down approaches. His ongoing work on haptic rendering for cell injection tasks in microgravity highlights his versatility, applying robotic expertise to biomedical challenges aboard space stations. Liang’s research consistently bridges theoretical innovation and practical deployment, making him a notable figure in space robotics and intelligent manipulation.
