About

Ruiwen Yi is a robotics researcher specializing in underwater autonomous systems, with a focus on the coordination and control of marine robots. Their work addresses critical challenges in multi-vehicle tracking and novel robot design for complex aquatic environments. Yi’s most cited paper, “A tracking control method of ASV following AUV” (2013, 8 citations), introduces a pioneering approach where an autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) dynamically adjusts its heading and speed to track an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), ensuring safe domain maintenance through a chasing-activity-based control method. This contribution is foundational for collaborative missions requiring surface-to-underwater coordination. Yi also advanced robot morphology with “A new concept spherical underwater robot with high mobility” (2015, 3 citations), designing a unique spherical hull equipped with an internal differential driving mechanism and external propellers for omnidirectional movement both underwater and on the ground. This innovation enhances maneuverability in confined or unstructured environments. Though citation counts are modest, Yi’s work demonstrates early-stage impact in niche areas of marine robotics, offering practical solutions for tracking and mobility that inspire further research in autonomous underwater vehicle systems and hybrid locomotion designs.
