Research Experience
- Involved in several research projects concerning dynamic motion control, including but not limited to: Dynamic Locomotion For Passive-Ankle Biped Robots And Humanoids Using Whole-Body Locomotion Control; Robust Bipedal Locomotion Based on a Hierarchical Control Structure; Investigations of a Robotic Testbed with Viscoelastic Liquid Cooled Actuators, etc.
Background
- Aspires to develop robust and versatile legged robots capable of all-terrain mobility for service and emergency applications. Focuses on optimizing control algorithms to achieve advanced dynamic locomotion. Recognizes the importance of understanding how the combination of hardware and control affects the limits of achievable behavior. Major aims include designing a new control architecture that combines the benefits of model-based controllers and machine learning techniques, as well as creating a unified framework to co-develop controller and hardware for maximizing the capability of legged robots.
