About

Dr. Qiang Fang is a leading researcher in advanced manufacturing and robotic automation for the aerospace industry. His work centers on precision machining of difficult-to-machine materials, particularly carbon fiber reinforced plastics and titanium (CFRP/Ti) stacks, which are critical in aircraft assembly. Dr. Fang’s major contributions include developing a force sensorless method for detecting layer interfaces during orbital drilling, enabling the use of optimized parameters for each material without physical sensors—a breakthrough documented in his 2015 paper (22 citations). He also pioneered a tool deflection compensation method based on cutting force observers (2022, 23 citations), significantly improving hole quality and tool life. His innovative helical milling end-effector design (2015, 10 citations) enables industrial robots to perform complex drilling tasks with enhanced precision. Beyond drilling, Dr. Fang has advanced multi-robot coordination for large subassembly positioning and developed disturbance-observer-based riveting force controllers for dual-machine systems. His recent work on priority-based reward mechanisms for dual-robot path planning (2025) demonstrates his ongoing commitment to intelligent automation. With over 65 citations across his most influential works, Dr. Fang’s research directly addresses real-world manufacturing challenges, making him a pivotal figure in aerospace robotics and precision machining.
