About

Liangjie Chen is a robotics researcher specializing in legged locomotion and transformable robot design. His work centers on two key areas: developing novel mechanisms for leg-wheel hybrid robots and advancing control strategies for quadrupedal locomotion. Chen's major contribution includes the design of a leg-wheel transformable robot featuring an innovative 11-linkage mechanism that enables rapid transformation between wheeled and legged modes, achieving a leg length 3.4 times longer than its wheel radius—a significant advancement for versatile terrain navigation. In control systems, he pioneered the integration of central pattern generators (CPGs) with foothold force optimization for quadruped robots, marking the first known attempt to combine CPG-based phase synchronization with optimal control frameworks to stabilize gait patterns. His work has garnered attention in the field, with his 2023 paper on wheel-to-leg transformation accumulating 10 citations and his 2022 CPG study earning 4 citations. Chen's research bridges mechanical design and bio-inspired control, offering practical solutions for robots operating in complex environments. His achievements demonstrate a commitment to pushing the boundaries of adaptive robotics, making him a notable contributor to the advancement of transformable and legged robotic systems.
