About Me

Here is Minhui Ye (叶旻辉).

I am a graduate student at Guangdong University of Technology, working in the Biomimetic and Intelligent Robotics Lab under the joint supervision of Prof. Yisheng Guan and Prof. Tao Zhang (Beihang University). I will complete my M.Eng. in June 2026.

My research focuses on planetary drilling robotics, spanning mechanism design, real-time embedded control, motion planning, and deep learning. I led the development of a 9-DOF multi-rod drilling robot for deep regolith sampling, and delivered a −190 °C vacuum temperature monitoring system for a leading aerospace institute.
