About
Aiqin Sun is a leading researcher in the field of underwater bionic robotics, with a primary focus on multi-fin propulsion systems and functional materials. Her work addresses a critical challenge in robotic fish design: the trade-off between low-speed maneuverability and high-speed stability. In her highly cited 2022 review, Sun systematically analyzes how single-fin propulsion modes fall short, demonstrating that combining multiple fins with a flexible body can dramatically enhance propulsion efficiency. This foundational paper has already garnered 23 citations, reflecting its immediate impact on the field. Sun’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging materials science and bio-inspired engineering, identifying key functional materials that enable more lifelike and efficient robotic motion. Her research is paving the way for next-generation autonomous underwater vehicles with superior agility and endurance. For students and researchers entering this interdisciplinary domain, Sun’s work offers a comprehensive roadmap for designing more capable and efficient underwater robots.
