Quadruped Robot

As the only girl in the CUHK Legged Robot Lab at present, I am working on looking good and control and planning modules on the robot manipulator.

An interesting guy who has passion on robots, reinforcement learning and tomatoes.

My name is Lingwei Zhang and I am 24 years old. I lives in the Fanling in the northeastern part of Hong Kong and is unmarried. I’m serving in CUHK. I work overtime until 10pm every day to get home. I don’t smoke, and the wine is just a taste. Go to bed at 11 p.m. and get 8 hours of sleep every day. Before going to bed, I must drink a glass of warm water, then do 20 minutes of calisthenics, go to bed, and fall asleep immediately. As soon as the sun rises, no fatigue and stress could be left until the next day. Doctors say I’m healthy

My main research attempts to use optimal control and reinforcement learning to give bipedal and quadrupedal robots greater agility, such as parkour, running and jumping.

We divide this method into three step. 1, stand up with our jumping algorithm, 2, jumping with SLIP model 3, HZD or MPC+WBC walking.

My interested research area include mechanical design, modeling and control of quadruped robots. I love jogging, watching movies and playing video games in my spare time.

I am Song Zhitao, PhD student at MAEG, Chinese University of Hong Kong. I am mainly engaged in research on the structural design and optimization of legged robots including quadruped and biped. More specifically, the design part includes structural material selection, transmission mechanism calculation, finite element analysis, manufacturing process improvement, etc. The optimization part is to establish a multidisciplinary optimization model based on the data of different components of the robot under various motion conditions, and to find the optimal solution of the optimization model through some meta-heuristic algorithms to improve the performance of our robots.

A research topic focus on using optimization approaches to give quadruped robot two point feet walking ability.
