About the presenters
Host | Dr. Huaiguang Yang received a Ph.D. in manufacturing engineering of aerospace vehicles from the Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin, China, in 2020. He is currently a post doctorate with the State Key Laboratory of Robotics and Systems, Harbin Institute of Technology. His current research interests include terramechanics and dynamic simulation for planetary rovers.
1 | Ruyi Zhou received a B.C. degree in mechanical design and manufacturing and its automation from Hunan Normal University, Changsha, China, in 2017, and an M.S. degree in mechanical engineering from Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin, China, in 2019. She is currently working toward a Ph. D. degree in aeronautical and astronautical science and technology at the HIT’s State Key Laboratory of Robotics and Systems. Her research focuses on terramechanics, terrain classification, terrain mechanical properties sensing, terramechanical mapping, and navigation for planetary rovers.

2 | Jianzhong Zhu is a Ph.D. student at the Vehicle Terramechanics Group of the Key Laboratory for Bionics Engineering of Education Ministry at Jilin University. Jianzhong obtained his bachelor’s degree from Jilin University in 2010 and started working full-time in the auto industry as a design engineer at various auto companies. There he was mainly responsible for the design and manufacture of chassis components and the development of vehicle dimensioning engineering. In 2019, Jianzhong joined the Vehicle Terramechanics Group for his doctoral degree where his research includes the design of metal flexible wheels for the pressurized lunar rover, wheel soil interaction model, soil bin test, and the coupling simulation of FEM and DEM.

4 | Shipeng Lyu received a B.S. degree in engineering from Northeastern University (NEU), Shenyang, China. He is currently pursuing his MS degree in electrical science and technology at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), Shenzhen, China. His research area is robot mobility over challenging terrains, including its control, planning, and navigation. Recently, he is researching the topic of hybrid wheel-leg robot locomotion in soft terrain. Highlights include the unified contact parameters definition to describe the multi-modal robot-terrain interaction and the motion uncertainty calculation based on this definition, which also is used for hybrid robot path planning.
