About
Junhang Lai is a pioneering roboticist advancing the frontier of transformable locomotion systems. His research focuses on bipedal-vehicle transformable robots (BVTRs), a novel class of machines that seamlessly integrate humanoid walking with wheeled mobility. Lai’s major contributions center on developing control strategies that enable these robots to maintain dynamic balance and adapt their morphology under diverse external disturbances. In his 2025 work, he introduced the concepts of Equivalent Predictive Control and Handle Point Control, providing a theoretical framework for stabilizing BVTRs across different formations—from bipedal stance to wheeled motion. His complementary study on transformable wheel-biped strategies further demonstrates how robots can achieve high mobility through adaptive mode transitions, effectively switching gaits in response to terrain or task demands. Though early in his career, Lai’s work has already garnered attention, with each of his foundational papers accumulating 2 citations, signaling growing interest from the locomotion and control communities. His research holds promise for applications in search-and-rescue, urban exploration, and assistive robotics, where versatility and resilience are paramount.
