Yasheng Chen

About

Yasheng Chen is a robotics researcher whose work spans quadruped locomotion, wheeled robot navigation, and rehabilitation robotics. His most cited paper, “Analysis and research of quadruped robot’s legs: A comprehensive review” (2019, 77 citations), provides a foundational survey of mechanical leg design, highlighting how leg architecture determines a robot’s adaptability, speed, and load capacity—a key reference for researchers in legged robotics. Chen also contributed to motion planning and control for wheeled robots in cluttered environments, using ANFIS-based tracking to improve autonomous navigation. More recently, he has focused on human-centered rehabilitation robotics, designing the NPU-Wrist Rehabilitation Robot with systematic integration of human factors. His work on personalized wrist training (2023) addresses the complex rehabilitation needs of stroke patients, nearly one-third of whom suffer persistent upper limb dysfunction. By applying ergonomic principles to control strategies and mechanical design, Chen aims to make rehabilitation more effective and tailored to individual anatomy. His research bridges engineering and clinical application, with growing impact in assistive robotics.
