About
Xiamen University has established itself as a dynamic and multidisciplinary research institution at the intersection of robotics, artificial intelligence, and advanced materials science. With a strong commitment to pushing technological boundaries, the university's research portfolio spans foundational AI theory, medical robotics, intelligent sensing, and next-generation wearable electronics — making it a compelling destination for researchers and students seeking broad, high-impact scientific engagement. The institution's contributions to AI are both foundational and far-reaching. Landmark work on Artificial General Intelligence has helped shape global discourse on the long-term trajectory of machine intelligence, accumulating over 500 citations, while deep learning approaches to 3D point cloud analysis have become essential references in computer vision and autonomous systems research. In robotics, Xiamen University has made significant strides in path planning, with innovative algorithms such as MOD-RRT* and DL-ACO advancing autonomous navigation in dynamic environments — work that directly underpins real-world mobile and industrial robot deployment. The university's medical robotics program is particularly distinguished. A highly cited survey on shape sensing for continuum robots in minimally invasive surgery reflects deep expertise in surgical robotics, complemented by pioneering work on photoacoustic imaging-guided magnetic microswimmers for bacterial infection treatment — bridging micro/nanorobotics and clinical medicine in exciting ways. Materials science research at Xiamen further supports its robotics agenda through the development of flexible tactile sensors, stretchable hydrogels, and electrically programmable adhesive materials enabling next-generation soft and climbing robots. This synergy between intelligent systems and advanced materials represents a genuinely unique institutional strength. With active engagement in federated learning for IoT and context-aware surgical environments, Xiamen University is cultivating an ecosystem where AI, robotics, and bioengineering converge — offering prospective collaborators and students an intellectually vibrant and globally connected research community.
