Welcome to my personal academic website! I am Liu Shuai, a PhD candidate in Mechanical Engineering at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), supervised by Prof. Duan Molong. Our Lab is MAAL. My research focuses on robotics, specifically cable-driven parallel robots, robotic manipulation, and SLAM technologies.

Research Interests

My research spans several exciting areas in robotics and automation:

Cable-Driven Parallel Robots (CDPRs): I specialize in the modeling, control, and optimization of cable-driven parallel robots, with particular emphasis on reconfigurable systems and disturbance rejection capabilities.

Robotic Manipulation and Control: I work on robotic arm modeling and control, including both traditional robotic arms and bio-inspired cable-driven robotic hands. My research covers trajectory planning, system identification, multi-finger coordination control, and real-time compensation methods.

SLAM and Mobile Robotics: I develop enhanced localization algorithms that integrate surface feature information into LiDAR SLAM frameworks, significantly improving positioning accuracy in complex environments for mobile robotic inspection systems.

Additive Manufacturing and Automation: I have experience in developing real-time monitoring and compensation systems for 3D printing using thermal imaging, achieving significant improvements in print quality and contour accuracy.
