About
Yunde Shi is a pioneering roboticist whose research spans bio-inspired robotics, intelligent manufacturing, and rehabilitation technology. His most impactful work addresses the critical challenge of path planning for robotic belt grinding of complex surfaces, achieving 83 citations by proposing a novel method that significantly improves surface quality—a key bottleneck in precision manufacturing. Shi’s contributions extend to quadruped robots, where he designed a bionic structure enabling omnidirectional movement, and to wearable exoskeletons, where he developed a kinetic energy harvester for sustainable, cable-actuated assistive devices. His diverse portfolio includes hydrodynamics studies of dolphin behavior, a circumferentially rotatable inspection robot for bridge cables, and flapping-wing air vehicles for search-and-rescue applications. With over 185 total citations, Shi has also advanced control theory through work on repetitive and iterative learning control, robustifying these methods for high-precision systems. His recent projects—an underwater robot inspired by sea turtles and a novel amphibious robot with a cycloidal propulsion module—demonstrate his continued innovation in bio-mimetic and multi-environment robotics. Shi’s work consistently bridges theoretical control and practical design, making him a leading figure in intelligent robotic systems.
