About

Haoyao Chen is a prominent robotics researcher whose work spans mobile robot systems, multi-robot coordination, micromanipulation, and autonomous navigation. His research has made lasting contributions across both macro and micro scales of robotics, bridging formation control theory with practical robotic applications. Chen's early foundational work in multi-robot formation control, particularly his receding-horizon leader-follower framework (2009, 259 citations), established an influential approach to coordinating non-holonomic mobile robots with rapid error convergence — a paper that remains widely referenced in the field. Complementing this, his ceiling vision-based SLAM methodology addressed the critical challenge of global localization in multi-robot indoor environments. At the microscale, Chen pioneered automated microparticle array manipulation using robotic tweezers (148 citations) and developed saturation-controlled optical tweezers for biological cell transportation in crowded microenvironments, advancing applications in bioscience and nanomedicine. His more recent work addresses contemporary robotics challenges, including RGB-D inertial odometry for dynamic environments (102 citations), risk-aware path planning, autonomous exploration, and wireless relay deployment with mobile robots. Together, his portfolio reflects a researcher who consistently bridges rigorous theoretical frameworks with real-world robotic systems, earning substantial recognition across multiple subfields of robotics and automation.
