About
Pu Bai is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on the control and interaction of aerial robots in constrained environments. His key research areas include quadrotor dynamics, contact-based manipulation, and trajectory tracking for flying robots operating near surfaces. Bai’s major contribution lies in developing a wall-contact sliding control strategy for a 2D caged quadrotor, as detailed in his most-cited 2018 paper. This work addresses the challenging problem of enabling a quadrotor to hover or move along a wall with arbitrary velocity, simplifying the complex contact dynamics by modeling them on a vertical two-dimensional plane. While his citation count is modest—with three citations for this paper—the research is notable for its foundational approach to integrating physical contact into aerial robot control, a critical step toward applications in inspection, maintenance, and confined-space navigation. Bai’s work demonstrates a practical engineering mindset, tackling real-world constraints like wall interaction to expand the capabilities of unmanned aerial vehicles. His contributions are particularly relevant for students and researchers exploring the intersection of robotics, control theory, and physical interaction in non-ideal environments.
