About

Noboru Myers is an emerging robotics researcher whose work focuses on humanoid robot systems, bipedal locomotion, and whole-body teleoperation. With contributions at the cutting edge of embodied robotics, Myers has tackled some of the field's most technically demanding challenges: building robots that can walk, balance, and be controlled intuitively by human operators. His 2024 paper on untethered biped robots introduces a novel serial-parallel hybrid leg mechanism combined with a two-degree-of-freedom neck-mounted camera system, enabling remote operation through ZMP preview control and IMU-based foot trajectory adaptation — a meaningful step toward practical, deployable humanoid platforms. Building on this foundation, his 2025 work introduces CHILD (Controller for Humanoid Imitation and Live Demonstration), a whole-body teleoperation framework that addresses a critical gap in the field: enabling joint-level, full-body control of humanoid robots for more diverse and expressive task execution. Though early in his citation trajectory — each paper currently holds 1 citation — Myers's research addresses foundational problems in humanoid robotics that will only grow in relevance as the field matures. Students interested in robot locomotion, teleoperation, and human-robot interaction will find his work a valuable technical reference.
