About
Wenjun Ye is a robotics and control systems researcher whose work spans teleoperation, mobile robotics, soft actuators, and rehabilitation engineering. His research has made notable contributions across both traditional and emerging robotics domains, accumulating over 310 citations across his most recognized works. Ye's early contributions focused on bilateral teleoperation, where his 2013 paper on adaptive hybrid position/force synchronization under time-varying communication delays (61 citations) established him as a meaningful voice in remote robotic control. He extended this expertise to quadruped robot dynamics, developing balance optimization strategies for compliant-joint systems (53 citations), and to wheeled mobile robots, proposing robust posture control with real-time obstacle avoidance despite skidding, slipping, and model uncertainties (50 citations). In parallel, Ye has pioneered modeling and control of advanced soft actuators, including photo-responsive liquid crystal elastomers (35 citations) and conical dielectric elastomer actuators—materials central to next-generation soft robotics. His work on rehabilitation exoskeletons, integrating EMG-based motion detection with adaptive control, further demonstrates his commitment to human-centered robotics. More recently, he has tackled multi-robot coordination through distributed leader-follower formation control. Ye's research profile reflects a researcher equally comfortable in rigorous control theory and cutting-edge materials-based actuation.
