About
Chiheb Boussema is a leading researcher in legged robotics, with a focus on dynamic locomotion, gait transitions, and disturbance recovery for highly agile robots. His most influential work, "Online Gait Transitions and Disturbance Recovery for Legged Robots via the Feasible Impulse Set" (2019, 44 citations), introduces a novel framework that replaces hand-tuned, time-based gait controllers with a real-time, impulse-based approach. By leveraging the concept of a feasible impulse set, Boussema enables robots to autonomously switch between gaits and recover from external perturbations without the need for trial-and-error tuning or internal clocks. This work is critical for enabling robust locomotion on challenging, unstructured terrains. His contributions are foundational for advancing the autonomy and resilience of legged systems, bridging the gap between theoretical control and practical deployment. With a growing citation impact, Boussema’s research is shaping the next generation of adaptive, disturbance-aware robots, making him a key figure in the field of dynamic legged locomotion.
