About
Teng Chen is a distinguished robotics researcher whose work spans legged locomotion, robot design, compliant control, and human-robot interaction. His research has made significant contributions to the development and control of multi-legged and bipedal robotic systems, with a particular focus on enabling robust, adaptive movement across challenging real-world terrains. Chen's most influential contributions include pioneering control frameworks for quadruped robots, notably his work on trot gait optimization through optimal foot force distribution (42 citations) and compliant control methods for hydraulic-actuated platforms (34 citations). His innovative robot designs have garnered considerable attention, including SDUHex — a versatile hexapod capable of switching limbs between locomotion and manipulation roles (39 citations) — and SKATER, a wheeled-bipedal robot engineered for high-speed maneuverability (25 citations). His whole-body motion planning framework for quadrupeds navigating rough terrain (30 citations) further demonstrates his systems-level thinking. Beyond legged robotics, Chen has expanded into surgical robotics, developing a hands-free wearable interface for flexible endoscopes (17 citations), and precision actuation, with notable work on piezoelectric actuators (16 citations). Collectively accumulating over 250 citations, Chen's diverse yet cohesive body of work positions him as a versatile and impactful voice in modern robotics research.
