About
Mingkang Li is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the design, analysis, and control of wall-climbing robots, with a particular focus on propeller-based adhesion systems and mobile robot control. His most significant contribution lies in pioneering the use of reverse propeller thrust as an adsorption mechanism, enabling wall-climbing robots to adhere to and traverse surfaces made of diverse materials — a compelling alternative to traditional magnetic or suction-based approaches. His foundational 2020 paper on propeller-driven wall-climbing robot design and stability analysis has accumulated 39 citations, establishing him as a notable voice in this niche but industrially relevant field, with applications ranging from glass curtain wall cleaning to bridge inspection. Li's subsequent research has systematically deepened this work, exploring aerodynamic performance through computational fluid dynamics simulations, hybrid adhesion systems for navigating internal surface transitions, and slip-compensation fuzzy control for improved trajectory tracking. His 2021 paper on double-propeller motion stability further extended his framework to real-world experimental validation. Beyond adhesion robotics, Li has also contributed to trajectory tracking control of nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots using deep reinforcement learning. With a growing body of work accumulating over 80 total citations, Li represents an emerging research voice in intelligent mobile robotics and autonomous systems engineering.
