About

Weiquan Ye is a leading researcher in robotics and control systems, with a primary focus on human-robot interaction and teleoperation technologies. His most significant contribution is in the development of vision-based adaptive control for wheeled inverted pendulum (WIP) robots, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2015 paper (85 citations). In this work, Ye pioneered a novel multisensor fusion algorithm that integrates OptiTrack and Kinect cameras, enabling robust and efficient tracking of moving human targets—a critical advancement for service and assistive robotics. His research addresses the fundamental challenge of making autonomous robots responsive to human motion in dynamic environments. Additionally, Ye has explored the complex field of bilateral teleoperation, specifically investigating underactuated flexible-joint manipulators (2014), which represents an important step beyond traditional fully-actuated systems. His work on flexible-joint robots has implications for safer, more dexterous remote manipulation in hazardous environments. Through his innovative integration of vision systems with adaptive control algorithms, Ye has made lasting contributions to the fields of mobile robotics and human-robot collaboration, advancing the state of the art in how robots perceive and interact with humans.
