About
Wenyang Li is a robotics researcher specializing in the design and control of tendon-driven mechanisms for humanoid robots, with a particular focus on lightweight, high-output robotic upper limbs. Their work addresses fundamental challenges in anthropomorphic robotics, including drive system optimization, joint modularization, and safety in constrained environments. Li’s most influential contribution is the development of coupled tendon-driven joint modules—including 2- and 3-degree-of-freedom designs—that enable torque reallocation and enhanced output without adding weight. Their 2021 survey on main drive methods for humanoid robotic upper limbs has garnered 52 citations, establishing a foundational reference in the field. Li has also advanced inverse kinematics for 7-DOF robotic arms with joint limit and end-pose coupling (46 citations), and proposed a versatile robot hand with tendon-driven telescopic fingers (2024). Notable achievements include designing a tendon-driven robotic arm prioritizing safety and durability, and a 3-DOF coupled tendon-driven waist joint for humanoid robots. With over 150 total citations across their publications, Li’s work is shaping the next generation of dexterous, safe, and efficient humanoid robots for service and industrial applications.
