About

Yanshen Wang is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on the kinematic and dynamic simulation of industrial robots, particularly spot welding manipulators. His research integrates computer graphics, multibody dynamics, and control systems to advance the virtual prototyping and optimization of robotic systems. Wang’s most cited work, “A robot kinematics simulation system based on OpenGL” (6 citations), introduced a modular simulation platform featuring offline programming, robot assembly, and teaching-playback modules, enabling realistic 3D visualization and interaction. In “Dynamic simulation and gravity balancing optimization of spot welding robot based on RecurDyn” (5 citations), he modeled robot components using D-H parameters and Pro/Engineer, then simulated driving torques to guide motor selection and gravity compensation design. His third highly cited paper, “Dynamics co-simulation of a type of spot welding robot by RecurDyn and Simulink” (4 citations), pioneered a co-simulation framework that links MATLAB/Simulink control algorithms with RecurDyn virtual prototypes, allowing command forces to be applied directly to actuators in a closed-loop dynamic environment. Collectively, Wang’s contributions demonstrate a systematic approach to bridging mechanical design, simulation, and control—providing practical tools for reducing physical prototyping costs and improving robot performance in manufacturing applications.
