About

Xikang Guan is a leading researcher in the field of legged robotics, with a focus on biomimetic design and dynamic locomotion. His work bridges the gap between biological inspiration and mechanical engineering, particularly in the development of wheel-legged robots and high-speed running gaits. Guan’s most cited paper, "Overview of structure and drive for wheel-legged robots" (2024, 21 citations), provides a comprehensive survey of hybrid locomotion systems, establishing a foundational reference for the field. In "Running Gait and Control of Quadruped Robot Based on SLIP Model" (2024, 11 citations), he addresses a critical challenge—enabling legged robots to achieve stable, high-speed running by leveraging the Spring-Loaded Inverted Pendulum (SLIP) model, moving beyond conventional walking gaits. His innovative approach extends to hardware design, as seen in "Biomimetic Lightweight Design of Legged Robot Hydraulic Drive Unit Shell Inspired by Geometric Shape of Fish Bone Rib Structure" (2023, 6 citations), where he applies natural structural principles to reduce weight while maintaining strength. Guan’s contributions are shaping the next generation of agile, efficient robots for complex terrains, making him a key figure in advancing robotic mobility and bio-inspired engineering.
