About
Qiaoli Ji is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on the biomechanics and control of bipedal locomotion, specifically the role of ankle push-off in walking robots. Her research explores how the explosive power generated at the ankle joint during the end of the stance phase influences walking speed, energy efficiency, and dynamic stability. Ji’s major contributions include demonstrating that impulsive ankle push-off can be optimized to balance speed and energy consumption, using genetic algorithms to fine-tune torque curves for more human-like gait in planar biped robots. Her simulation studies reveal that a push-off height of just 13 cm can significantly affect walking velocity, offering a practical pathway for more efficient robot design. With her most-cited papers each garnering six citations, Ji’s work is gaining traction in the field of legged robotics. Notably, her 2021 paper on torque curve optimization provides a foundational method for engineers seeking to replicate the energy-saving mechanisms of human walking. Ji’s research bridges robotics and human biomechanics, offering insights that could advance prosthetic design and autonomous robot mobility.
