About

Dr. Mei-Wen Fang is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the dynamic stabilization and control of autonomous systems, with a particular emphasis on non-conventional platforms. Her most notable contribution is the pioneering application of the zero moment point (ZMP) tracking approach—a concept traditionally used in humanoid robot locomotion—to the control of autonomous bicycles. This innovative cross-domain transfer of stability analysis provides a novel framework for balancing and maneuvering two-wheeled vehicles, addressing a fundamental challenge in autonomous mobility. While her seminal 2011 paper on this topic has garnered 2 citations, its conceptual significance lies in bridging the gap between legged and wheeled robotic control theory. Dr. Fang’s research demonstrates how established biomechanical principles can be repurposed to solve complex engineering problems, offering a fresh perspective for students and researchers interested in control systems, mobile robotics, and the intersection of humanoid and vehicular dynamics. Her work continues to inspire exploration into adaptive stabilization techniques for unconventional autonomous platforms.
