About
Kaveh Akbari Hamed is a leading robotics and control systems researcher whose work spans bipedal locomotion, quadrupedal robotics, and human-robot collaboration. His foundational contributions center on the development of rigorous mathematical frameworks—rooted in hybrid dynamical systems theory—for stabilizing and controlling legged robots in real-world conditions. His landmark 2013 paper on the ATRIAS bipedal robot (174 citations) established influential feedback control methodologies for energy-efficient 3D walking, while subsequent work on the underactuated robot MARLO demonstrated these principles in compelling physical experiments. Hamed has been particularly prolific in designing exponentially stabilizing continuous-time and decentralized controllers for periodic locomotion orbits, addressing critical challenges such as ground height variations and model uncertainties. More recently, his research has expanded into quadrupedal locomotion, with contributions bridging reduced- and full-order models through robust predictive control, and into assistive robotics, notably developing safety-critical control strategies for robotic guide dogs aiding visually impaired individuals. His 2023 work on quadruped robots for construction inspection further showcases his versatility. Collectively accumulating hundreds of citations, Hamed's research has meaningfully advanced the theoretical and experimental frontiers of dynamic legged locomotion and autonomous robotic systems.
