About
Chung-Li Chen is a robotics researcher specializing in the dynamic locomotion of quadruped robots, with a focus on model-based control strategies that harness natural dynamics. His major contributions center on developing reduced-order models to achieve stable, efficient gaits. Chen introduced the Two-rolling-leg (TRL) model, a low degree-of-freedom planar rigid-body system with rolling and compliant legs, enabling bounding locomotion on a quadruped robot. He further advanced this work with the Two-rolling-legs model with waist actuation (TRLW), which incorporates waist actuation to enhance dynamic gait performance. These models are notable for fitting the robot’s inherent physical dynamics, reducing computational complexity while maintaining robust motion. Although his most-cited papers have modest citation counts (6 and 5, respectively), they represent foundational steps in applying simplified sagittal-plane models to real-world quadrupedal robots. Chen’s research is particularly relevant for students and engineers interested in bio-inspired robotics, legged locomotion, and control theory, offering practical frameworks for designing agile, energy-efficient robots. His work underscores the value of model-based approaches in bridging simulation and hardware implementation.
