About
Haoyuan Yi is a robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of biomechanics and legged locomotion, with a focus on making robots more stable, adaptable, and efficient in real-world environments. His key research areas include dynamic stability control, bio-inspired leg and foot design, and compliance planning for heavy-duty walking robots. Yi’s most-cited work, “3D-SLIP Model Based Dynamic Stability Strategy for Legged Robots with Impact Disturbance Rejection” (22 citations), extends the classic spring-loaded inverted pendulum model into three dimensions, enabling robots to reject lateral disturbances—a critical step toward truly agile outdoor locomotion. He has also contributed to the design of heavy-duty hexapod robots and hydraulically actuated quadrupeds, where his bio-inspired compliance planning method accounts for ground stiffness, a factor often overlooked in soft-terrain locomotion. His work on a novel robot foot with high adaptability and adhesion (2019) addresses a persistent challenge in walking robots: maintaining grip on uneven surfaces. With a total of nearly 50 citations across his most-cited papers, Yi is building a reputation for practical, nature-inspired solutions that bridge the gap between theoretical models and deployable robotic systems.
