方辰 Fang Chen

About Me

I am Chen Fang (方辰 in Chinese), a third-year undergraduate student majoring in Robotics Engineering at the College of Control Science and Engineering, Zhejiang University (ZJU). GPA: 4.66/5.0 (91.60/100), ranking 3rd out of 45 students in my major. I aspire to become a full-stack Robotics Researcher and Engineer.

I am honored to be a core member of ZJUDancer, where I contribute to the design and maintenance of complex multi-robot systems (integrating vision, control, and strategy) for the RoboCup Humanoid Soccer League. In parallel, I serve as a Motion Control Algorithm Intern at High Torque. Over the past months, my team and I have been preparing intensively for the competition season, and we are eager to achieve outstanding results at the German Open (March), the China Robot Competition (May), and the RoboCup World Cup in Incheon, Korea (July). We have developed a relatively complete and robust system, which is under continuous optimization.

My academic interests lie at the intersection of Locomotion and Whole Body Control (WBC). I aim to leverage Reinforcement Learning (RL) to solve complex motion challenges in humanoid robots. To date, I have trained and deployed classic locomotion and motion tracking frameworks such as Legged Gym, HimLoco, AMP, and Beyond Mimic. I am also following their applications in different tasks, particularly in soccer competitions. My research journey began with latent-variable-based locomotion approaches including DreamWaQ, HimLoco, PIM, Learning H-infinity Locomotion, and RL2AC, which cultivated my appreciation for rigorous derivation and the intersection with classical control theory. I am honored to be mentored by Dr. Shengze Cai and Dr. Shangke Lyu in my academic journey.
