Gordon Cheng has made pioneering contributions in Humanoid Robotics, Neuroengineering, Artificial Intelligence for the past 20 years. Since 2010, Gordon Cheng has been holding the Chair for Cognitive Systems, which he also founded. The Chair for Cognitive Systems is part of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Technical University of Munich (TUM), Munich/Germany.

Gordon Cheng is also the Head of the CoC for Neuro-Engineering - Center of Competence Neuro-Engineering in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Since 2016, he has been the Program Director of the Elite Master of Science program in Neuroengineering (MSNE) of the Elite Network of Bavaria, a unique study program in Germany.

Formerly, he was the Head of the Department of Humanoid Robotics and Computational Neuroscience, ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratories, Kyoto, Japan. He was the Group Leader for the JST International Cooperative Research Project (ICORP), Computational Brain. He has also been designated as a Project Leader/Research Expert for National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) of Japan. He is involved in a large number of major European Union Projects (e.g. RoboCub, Factory-in-a-Day, CONTEST-ITN, RoboCom-Flagship).

Gordon Cheng is the co-inventor of approximately 20 patents and author of approximately 300 technical publications, proceedings, editorials and book chapters. In 2014, he published the book "Humanoid Robotics and Neuroscience: Science, Engineering and Society". This interdisciplinarity has also been acknowledge by the IEEE, when being named IEEE Fellow in 2017 for his “contributions in humanoid robotic systems and neurorobotics”.

Research highlights

Humanoid Robots Prof. Cheng developed over the years (Jack, i-1, ad CB-i).

Humanoid Robotics: Over the past 20 years, Prof. Cheng developed a number of highly sophisticated humanoid robots. One of the key distinctive features of these robots was in their ability to be controlled by forces, since new and novel control schemes were needed to perform high-performance tasks (walking and balancing) (Cheng, Nagakubo et al. 2001, Nagakubo, Kuniyoshi et al. 2003, Cheng, Hyon et al. 2007). Only seven years after his work, DLR (German Aerospace Agency) produced a similar robot, DLR TORO (Ott, Roa et al. 2016). Also, the latest robots from Boston Dynamics have similar performance.

In his earlier works, he exploited the capabilities of these advanced robotic systems for reproducing human behaviours and rich human-robot interactions. This line of research moved beyond the reproduction of human-like behaviours, also accounting the scientific understanding of the underlying processes in humans, while advancing state-of-the-art techniques (e.g. 30+DOFs torque controllable joints). The robots i-1 and CBi were developed accordingly  (Cheng, Hyon et al. 2007). During those times, new advancements at many levels were made, for instance, producing new advanced walking controllers, especially novel centre patterns generators (CPG) (Cheng, Hyon et al. 2007). These works and projects yielded a large number of publications and patents.

Artificial Robotic Skin: In the 10 recent years, Prof. Cheng worked on the novel development of a comprehensive robot skin system (Cheng, Dean-Leon et al. 2019), the first ever complete robot skin system for robots. The significance of this work is in the way that the skin system provides human-like sense of touch, in a multi-modal (temperature, touch, acceleration, proximity) manner, self-configuring, with a function of auto determining  its own locations, low-computation, enabling a fully auto configurable robot skin system that can be deployed on large surfaces of robots (we have deployed this on two different robots. Recently, this was demonstrated on a first fully autonomous humanoid robot (Cheng, Dean-Leon et al. 2019) and he and his team applied this state-of-the-art technology to several application domains: from industrial factory robots to medical robots (such as an exoskeleton (Donati, Shokur et al. 2016)).

An exoskeleton robot in the kick-off of the FIFA world cup (Donati, Shokur et al. 2016)

NeuroEngineering/Neurorobotics: Bringing together several fields and moving more toward applications in medicine, his research takes a closer alignment to NeuroScience, in particular following a NeuroEngineering approach (Cheng, Ehrlich et al. 2020). One example here is the Walk Again Project, in which he leads the robotics/technology parts. The project targets the realization of a brain-machine-interface exoskeleton robot that provides tactile sensory feedback to paraplegic (Spinal Cord Injury) patients and has shown to induce partial neurological recovery for these patients (Donati, Shokur et al. 2016). This work was publicly demonstrated when the project succeeded in making the kick-off of the 2014 FIFA world cup. The importance of this research area is that it provides a unique way of combining Neuroscience, AI and Robotics, especially in targeting at improving the quality of life for people.

Gordon Cheng: Humanoid Robotics and Neuroscience: Science, Engineering and Society (Frontiers in Neuroengineering Series), 2014.

Humanoid robots are highly sophisticated machines equipped with human-like sensory and motor capabilities. Today we are on the verge of a new era of rapid transformations in both science and engineering—one that brings together technological advancements in a way that will accelerate both neuroscience and robotics. Humanoid Robotics and Neuroscience: Science, Engineering and Society presents the contributions of prominent scientists who explore key aspects of the further potential of these systems.

Upcoming book:

Ravinder Dahiya, Oliver Ozioko, and Gordon Cheng: Sensory Systems for Robotic Applications (The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET)), forthcoming, 2020/2021.

Sensory systems comprising of various sensing modalities are fundamental to robotics – they provide information about the state of the environment and of the robotic system, which forms the basis for control, decision-making, and interaction. This book will cover robotic sensory hardware, related electronics, and system issues. Topics to be covered include various type of sensors used in robotics (tactile, vision, audio, accelerometers, gyros, force, torque, proximity, lasers, RFID, chemical, temperature, etc.), various sensing schemes (e-skin, tactile skin, e-nose, electronic/bionic eye, textiles, omnidirectional cameras, neuromorphic vision, and touch, etc.), various sensing technologies (solid-state sensors, miniaturized sensors, soft sensors, sensors with local computation, etc.), and system issues (wiring complexity, conformal electronics, power consumption, etc.).
