About
Justin Quan is a robotics researcher specializing in bio-inspired mobility, manipulation, and autonomous systems for extreme environments. His work focuses on developing lightweight, extendable robotic limbs using tape springs—enabling robots to climb, perch, and manipulate objects in unstructured spaces like caves, forests, and even Martian terrain. Quan’s most cited paper (7 citations) presents an ultra-light perching system for sloped or vertical rough surfaces on Mars, a key contribution for future aerial exploration of geologically interesting features. He also leads the design of the LIMMS package delivery system, featuring self-aligning rotational latching mechanisms (4–3 citations) for efficient container handling. As a champion of the RoboCup 2024 Adult-Sized Humanoid league, Quan’s work integrates hardware, vision, and strategy into competitive robotics. His climbing robot EEWOC (2 citations) demonstrates a low-cost, lightweight platform for vertical mobility in hazardous industrial settings. With a portfolio spanning space exploration, package delivery, and humanoid competition, Quan’s innovations push the boundaries of robotic adaptability and real-world deployment.
