About
Jung–Min Yang is a leading authority in the field of robotic locomotion, with a particular focus on fault-tolerant control for multi-legged robots. His research addresses the critical challenge of maintaining stability and mobility when a robot suffers a leg or joint failure—a key requirement for deploying robots in hazardous or remote environments. Yang’s foundational work on hexapod and quadruped robots, including the introduction of the "fault stability margin" and strategies for locked joint failures, has been highly influential. His seminal 1999 paper on sliding mode control for nonholonomic mobile robots has garnered over 100 citations, while his 1998 study on fault-tolerant hexapod locomotion has been cited 75 times. More recently, he has advanced robust control using interval type-2 fuzzy systems and genetic algorithms for snake robots. With over a dozen papers on fault-tolerant gaits, Yang’s contributions are essential for researchers developing resilient walking machines capable of operating in unpredictable conditions.
