About
Yaru Sun is a robotics researcher specializing in the design and control of hydraulic actuation systems for legged robots, with a focus on improving mechanical compliance and energy efficiency. Her work addresses critical challenges in quadruped robot locomotion, particularly the impact forces generated during foot-ground contact and the high energy consumption of hydraulic systems. In her 2018 paper, she proposed a novel passive compliance method by integrating a miniature hydraulic accumulator into the piston chamber of a servo actuator, enabling effective impact force reduction without active control. This work, cited 8 times, laid the foundation for more resilient legged robot designs. Sun further advanced energy-efficient locomotion in her 2021 study, where she introduced a segmented cubic spline interpolation foot trajectory for the swing phase, reducing energy consumption in hydraulic quadruped robots. Her 2023 paper on high-low double pump supply systems continued this trajectory, achieving notable gains in onboard hydraulic power efficiency. With a cumulative citation count of 21 across her key works, Sun’s contributions are steadily gaining recognition in the robotics community, particularly for their practical implications in field robotics and autonomous systems.
