About

Haoning Cheng is a robotics researcher whose work spans two critical frontiers: legged locomotion and surgical robotics. In their highly cited 2023 paper, "R-Taichi: A Quadruped Robot with Deformed Wheels" (6 citations), Cheng introduced a novel quadruped capable of seamlessly transitioning between wheeled, RHex-style bounding, and legged modes using a single, elegant link mechanism. This design, which optimizes motor-relative control, represents a significant step toward versatile, multi-terrain robots. More recently, Cheng has tackled the delicate challenge of haptic feedback in medicine. Their 2024 paper, "A Hollow FBG-Based 3-Axis Force Sensor for Surgical Robots" (2 citations), presents a groundbreaking fiber Bragg grating sensor that can measure three-axis forces between surgical instruments and tissue. The hollow design is particularly notable, as it allows for integration without compromising instrument functionality. By enabling safer, more intuitive robotic surgery, this work addresses a critical bottleneck in minimally invasive procedures. Cheng’s dual focus on robust locomotion and precise force sensing demonstrates a rare ability to advance both the mobility and the tactile intelligence of robots, marking them as a rising talent in the field.
