Stanley Wang

Hi! I'm a third-year PhD student in Stanford's Biomimetics and Dexterous Manipulation Lab (BDML). My passion lies in realizing new robot architectures, from design and hardware to autonomous control systems. My research focuses broadly on field and space robotics, with an emphasis with long-reach and mobile manipulation. I am grateful for support from the NASA NSTGRO Fellowship and the Stanford Robotics Center (SRC).

Long-Reach Manipulation for Assembly and Outfitting of Lunar Structures

International Conference on Space Robotics (iSpaRo25), 2025

We develop a compact long-reach manipulator with a deployable composite boom designed for autonomous cable outfitting and construction tasks on the lunar surface. We employ control strategies to mitigate deflection, vibration, and blossoming effects inherent to the deployable structure. Experiments demonstrate endpoint accuracy under 15 mm for boom lengths up to 1.8 m, enabling fine manipulation across large workspaces.

Long-Reach Robotic Cleaning for Lunar Solar Arrays

International Conference on Space Robotics (iSpaRo25), 2025

A small mobile robot equipped with a long-reach manipulator is studied for large-scale cleaning of lunar solar arrays. Endpoint force sensing and a velocity-based admittance control policy enables stable contact regulation (~2N), demonstrating autonomous maintenance capabilities.
