About

Dr. Jiameng Xue is a leading researcher in the field of robotic inspection, specializing in the development of intelligent control and navigation systems for wall-climbing robots. Her work focuses on solving critical challenges in the automated inspection of large-scale industrial infrastructure, particularly spherical and cylindrical storage tanks. Dr. Xue’s major contributions include pioneering a weld line recognition and path planning system for spherical tank inspection robots, which has garnered 52 citations and established a foundation for autonomous robotic maintenance in hazardous environments. She has also advanced trajectory tracking control through a backstepping sliding-mode control strategy, enabling precise spatial movement on curved tank surfaces. To address positioning challenges in complex indoor settings, Dr. Xue developed a multi-sensor fusion method using UWB and other sensors, achieving robust error correction for mobile robots. Her application of a modified A-star algorithm for optimal path planning on cylindrical tanks further demonstrates her innovative approach to real-world industrial problems. With a growing citation impact and a clear focus on safety, efficiency, and autonomy, Dr. Xue’s research is shaping the next generation of inspection robotics for critical energy and process industries.
