About
Xinyang Jiang is a leading researcher in legged robotics, specializing in the dynamic locomotion and control of bipedal, quadrupedal, and monoped robots. Their work bridges the gap between theoretical dynamics and practical, real-time control, with a focus on enabling robots to perform complex maneuvers such as jumping and crawling on challenging terrains. A major contribution is the development of a linearized centroidal dynamics framework for model-predictive control of quadruped robots, a breakthrough that simplifies nonlinear motion equations for efficient, real-time application (33 citations). Jiang has also advanced bipedal jumping through motion planning and joint-power optimization, and designed innovative crawling gaits for humanoids with rigid-flexible waists. Their work on the Marsbot monopod robot demonstrates three-dimensional dynamic jumping with high precision. With over 80 total citations, Jiang’s research is foundational for creating agile, versatile robots capable of navigating unstructured environments, directly impacting the future of search-and-rescue, exploration, and assistive robotics.
