About

Xiaokui Yue is a leading researcher in space robotics and bio-inspired mechanical systems, with a focus on capturing and stabilizing non-cooperative space debris—a critical challenge for orbital sustainability. His most cited work, "Bio-inspired anti-impact manipulator for capturing non-cooperative spacecraft" (75 citations), introduces a novel manipulator that mimics biological impact resistance, enabling safer capture of tumbling debris. Yue has made foundational contributions to post-capture control, developing stabilization and parameter identification methods for unknown inertial properties, as seen in his 2016 paper (35 citations) and subsequent optimal detumbling strategies (19 citations). He also advances soft robotics with a variable stiffness gripper based on rotational layer jamming (30 citations, 2023), addressing limitations in traditional jamming units for delicate manipulation. His work extends to robust control, including discrete nonsingular terminal sliding mode control for space manipulators under disturbances (19 citations, 2023) and predefined-time control for multi-space transport systems (14 citations, 2024). With over 250 total citations, Yue’s research bridges theoretical control, bio-inspired design, and practical space applications, earning recognition for innovative solutions in debris mitigation and autonomous robotic systems.
