Senior🎓
Top SchoolTianyao Chen is a senior mechanical engineer with a decade of hands-on experience designing wearable robotics and rehabilitation devices, currently advancing legged mobility at Agility Robotics. He has led R&D and hardware development for exoskeletons, prostheses, and human-safe robot arms across industry and research labs—including a director role at HuMoTech and projects at Carnegie Mellon and Disney—blending biomechanical insight with practical actuation and control solutions. His work spans from finger and knee rehabilitation devices to a two-DOF prosthetic foot/emulator that probed metabolic and stability effects in walking, reflecting a strong experimental and systems-level approach. Based in Pittsburgh, he pairs engineering rigor with a creative maker’s background and real-world testing experience, and outside of work he’s a sneaker-collecting, denim-loving snowboarder and dad who brings athlete-level curiosity to product design.
