About

Dr. Jicheng Chen is a leading researcher in the control and coordination of robotic systems, with a particular focus on multi-agent systems and medical robotics. His foundational work on the consensus problem for groups of two-wheeled mobile robots, published in 2016, has garnered 86 citations for its novel approach to nonuniform sampling under directed and switching communication topologies. This research established critical control protocols for both first- and second-order system dynamics, providing bounded control gains that ensure stability in complex, real-world environments. More recently, Dr. Chen has advanced the frontier of medical robotics with his 2024 work on Koopman-based 3-dimensional path following control for robotic flexible needles. This innovative approach addresses the formidable challenge of navigating flexible needles through complex anatomical structures with high precision, a key requirement for minimally invasive procedures. By bridging theoretical control theory with practical medical applications, Dr. Chen’s work demonstrates a rare ability to solve fundamental engineering problems while directly impacting patient care. His research continues to influence both the academic community and the development of next-generation robotic systems.
