About

Boren Jiang is a robotics researcher focused on advancing the perceptual and manipulation capabilities of smaller-sized humanoid robots. His work centers on force sensing, calibration, and control—critical areas for enabling robots to interact safely and precisely with their environments. Jiang’s major contributions include developing a novel two-step self-calibration method for foot force sensors, allowing humanoid robots to autonomously adjust their sensor parameters during double support configurations without external equipment. He also designed low-cost, compliant force-sensing gripping pads that measure normal forces and center of pressure, enhancing object manipulation. Though emerging in the field, his papers—such as “Watch Me Calibrate My Force-Sensing Shoes!” and “Design, Calibration, and Control of Compliant Force-Sensing Gripping Pads for Humanoid Robots”—have each garnered 2 citations, signaling early impact. Jiang’s work is notable for its practical, accessible approach to sensor integration, making advanced calibration and control techniques viable for smaller platforms. His research holds promise for more autonomous, dexterous humanoid robots in real-world tasks.
