About
Ling-Ji Mu is a pioneering researcher in bio-inspired robotics, with a primary focus on the design and application of artificial lateral line systems for robotic fish. Drawing inspiration from the natural sensory capabilities of fish, Mu’s work explores how distributed pressure-sensing nodes can enable underwater robots to detect obstacles, track baits, and navigate complex fluid environments without relying on vision. Their most-cited paper, "Artificial lateral line design for robotic fish" (2011), lays the groundwork for understanding how acoustic pressure fields—generated by interactions between a fish’s tail and surrounding walls—can provide critical spatial information. Though early in citation impact, this foundational study has influenced subsequent work in underwater sensing and autonomous navigation. Mu’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging fluid dynamics, sensory biology, and robotics, offering a pathway toward more agile and perceptive autonomous underwater vehicles. Their research continues to inspire engineers and biologists alike, highlighting the potential of biomimetic lateral line systems for real-world aquatic applications.
