About
Yukui Zhang is a rising researcher in the field of robotics, with a focus on safety-critical control, teleoperation, and human-robot interaction. His work addresses fundamental challenges in ensuring robust and adaptive safety for robotic systems operating in dynamic and uncertain environments. Zhang’s major contributions include the development of an adaptive safety-critical control framework using a variable task energy tank, which enhances the flexibility and safety of collaborative robots in dynamic settings—a paper that has already garnered 4 citations since its 2025 publication. He has also advanced telerobotic manufacturing by introducing scaled non-passive environmental interaction force tracking, enabling stable operation under variable time delays (3 citations). Additionally, Zhang proposed an intention-aware robust safety framework that unifies object interaction and obstacle avoidance using control barrier functions (CBFs), addressing model uncertainties and external disturbances that degrade classical CBF performance. His work on adaptive safety boundaries and robust teleoperation control is particularly notable for its potential to improve real-world applications in manufacturing and remote manipulation. With these early contributions, Zhang is establishing himself as a promising voice in next-generation robotic safety systems.
