About
Jian Bi is a leading researcher in legged robotics, with a primary focus on the design, control, and autonomous locomotion of multi-legged systems. His work bridges mechanical design and intelligent control, most notably through the development of the SDUHex—a novel hexapod robot with a leg-arm multiplexing capability that allows its six limbs to function as either manipulators or locomotors. This innovation, detailed in his most-cited paper (39 citations), addresses a critical challenge in mobile manipulation. Bi has also made substantial contributions to quadruped robotics, developing whole-body motion planning and control frameworks for navigating challenging terrain (30 citations) and advancing efficient dynamic locomotion through adaptive diagonal gaits (12 citations). His research extends to sim-to-real transfer using deep reinforcement learning and parallel training, as well as vision-based terrain perception for complex environments. With a growing body of work that integrates mechanical design, control theory, and learning-based methods, Bi is shaping the future of highly adaptable, multi-modal legged robots capable of operating in unstructured, real-world environments.
