About

Chenda Duan is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of Embodied AI, urban robotics, and simulation platforms. Her most notable contribution is the development of MetaUrban, an embodied AI simulation platform designed specifically for urban micromobility—a groundbreaking tool that enables the safe and realistic training of autonomous robots, such as food delivery bots and electric wheelchairs, in complex public spaces like streetscapes and plazas. This work addresses the critical challenge of integrating robotic systems into dynamic, human-centered urban environments, with MetaUrban already garnering early citations for its innovative approach. Duan’s research is pivotal in shaping how autonomous agents perceive and navigate shared public spaces, balancing efficiency with social harmony. Her achievements highlight a forward-thinking vision for inclusive urban mobility, where robots and humans coexist seamlessly. With a growing citation impact, Chenda Duan is establishing herself as a key voice in the future of embodied intelligence and smart city infrastructure.
