Hi, My name is Zijian Dai. Currently, I am a first-year PhD student majoring in robotics at DIAG Robotics Lab, supervised by Prof. Giuseppe Oriolo (IEEE Fellow). In Mar 2025, I completed my M.Eng in Aerospace at Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen. Before this I completed my B.Eng in Automation at Harbin Engineering University with Prof. Zheping Yan. During my academic career, I have worked on various types of robotics projects, including humanoid, quadruped robots, space robots, robotic arms, underwater robots, wheel robots etc. I am good at embedded development, ROS, and robot joint motion control such as servos/servo motors. My research interests include robot compliant control, whole-body motion control, and real-world robotic system building. In Oct 2024, I finished my internship at Tencent Robotics X Lab. Later, I joined the humanoid project at LimX Dynamics and ended my internship in August 2025. Now, I am joining the Automatic Control, Bioengineering and Operations Research (ABRO) PhD program at Sapienza University of Rome for my PhD degree.

A priority-based switching model predictive control (SMPC) method is proposed for space robots to execute sequential operation tasks efficiently.

This paper presents a WBCC strategy for multi-arm robots to achieve compliant crawling on space trusses.

To provide a flippable four-legged wheeled robot to address the ability of the special capabilities (in particular speed) of the legged robotic system to extend beyond its natural world, as proposed in the background technology above, which is critical for any task that requires skills to move quickly and long distances in challenging environments.
