About

Jinquan Sun is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the design and control of legged robots for specialized industrial applications. His most notable contribution is the development of the WeLCH (Walking-Climbing Hexapod) robot, a service hexapod designed for the inspection of glass curtain walls. In his highly cited 2019 paper, Sun details the robot’s integrated system design, including its unique walking-climbing locomotion, structural hardware, and accompanying software. This work addresses a critical need in high-rise building maintenance, demonstrating how bio-inspired robotics can solve real-world challenges in hazardous environments. By focusing on the seamless integration of mechanical design, gait planning, and control systems, Sun has laid a foundation for autonomous inspection robots that can traverse both horizontal and vertical surfaces. His research, which has garnered attention in the field of service robotics, showcases a practical approach to deploying robots in complex, vertical terrains, making him a key figure in the advancement of climbing and walking robotic systems for infrastructure monitoring.
