About
Jinjun Duan is a robotics researcher whose work spans force control, robot calibration, multi-robot systems, and emerging areas of space robotics and soft materials. He is perhaps best known for his 2018 paper on adaptive variable impedance control for dynamic contact force tracking, which has accumulated nearly 400 citations and established him as a leading voice in compliant robot-environment interaction. This foundational contribution has since been extended through subsequent work on constant force tracking for robotic polishing and compliant detachment strategies for wall-climbing robots, demonstrating a sustained commitment to advancing force-controlled manipulation in real-world settings. Duan has also made meaningful contributions to robot accuracy, proposing a drawstring displacement sensor-based kinematic calibration method that has garnered over 60 citations, and to multi-robot coordination, addressing trajectory planning and position/force control in complex welding tasks. More recently, his research has broadened into payload identification for force/torque sensors, electro-active bio-inspired adhesives, flexible multi-modal robotic sensors, and on-orbit assembly with space robots — reflecting an expanding vision for intelligent, adaptable robotic systems. His cumulative citation record underscores his growing influence across both industrial robotics and emerging frontier applications.
