About
Yang Manman is a pioneering roboticist whose work centers on autonomous systems for infrastructure inspection, with a particular focus on confined-space navigation and collaborative multi-robot operations. Her most impactful contribution is the development of the Mega-Joey, a novel miniature, tether-less robot platform designed to autonomously assess small-diameter sewer pipes—a domain where traditional inspection methods are costly, disruptive, and often infeasible. This work, detailed in her 2025 paper "Autonomous, Collaborative, and Confined Infrastructure Assessment with Purpose-Built Mega-Joey Robots," has already garnered 3 citations, signaling its early influence in the field. By enabling robots to navigate, collaborate, and assess confined spaces without human intervention, Yang addresses a critical gap in infrastructure maintenance, potentially saving millions in repair costs and reducing service disruptions. Her research bridges robotics, civil engineering, and artificial intelligence, offering a scalable solution for aging urban infrastructure. Yang’s innovative approach not only advances robotic autonomy but also sets a new standard for resilient, cost-effective infrastructure management, making her a rising leader in applied robotics.
