About
Libo Meng is a robotics researcher whose work spans bipedal locomotion, quadrupedal control, and humanoid robot design — areas where he has established himself as a thoughtful and productive contributor to advanced robotic systems. His research tackles some of the most demanding challenges in legged robotics, including stable walking on uneven and inclined terrain, disturbance rejection, and highly dynamic maneuvers such as jumping. Among his most impactful contributions is his work on perception-less terrain adaptation for quadruped robots (64 citations) and contact force control for stable bipedal walking on uneven surfaces (41 citations), demonstrating both hardware design acumen and sophisticated control theory. His omnidirectional gait planning for bipedal robots on inclined ground (41 citations) addressed a long-standing gap in the field, while his disturbance rejection framework using zero-moment point variation (38 citations) offers practical solutions for real-world deployment. More recently, Meng has pushed into highly dynamic territory with humanoid jumping and angular momentum control (36 citations), as well as novel wheel-legged hybrid locomotion systems. His earlier work on a redundant-arm ping-pong playing humanoid reflects a breadth of vision that continues to define his career across more than a decade of impactful robotics research.
