About

Zhihang Li is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on real-time visual tracking and autonomous systems, with a particular emphasis on badminton-playing robots. Li’s most notable contribution is the development of the FTOC (Fast Tracking with Online Correction) algorithm, introduced in the 2019 paper "Using FTOC to track shuttlecock for the badminton robot." This work addresses the challenging problem of high-speed object tracking in dynamic environments, enabling a robot to accurately follow a shuttlecock’s rapid, unpredictable trajectory. With 31 citations, this paper has become a foundational reference for researchers working on robotic badminton and agile visual servoing. Li’s research bridges computer vision and mechatronics, demonstrating how robust tracking can be achieved under real-time constraints. The FTOC method’s practical success in a demanding sport highlights Li’s ability to translate theoretical advances into functional robotic systems. For students and researchers interested in the intersection of sports engineering, visual tracking, and autonomous robotics, Zhihang Li’s work offers a compelling example of how targeted algorithmic innovation can solve real-world motion-tracking challenges.
