About
Bohao He is a rising researcher in marine robotics, with a focus on autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) recovery and docking systems. His key contributions lie in designing innovative, soft robotic interfaces that enable dynamic, underwater retrieval of AUVs with improved pose tolerance—a critical challenge for long-duration autonomous missions. His most cited work, "Underwater fluid-driven soft dock for dynamic recovery of AUVs with improved pose tolerance" (2024, 42 citations), introduces a novel fluid-driven soft docking mechanism that accommodates misalignment during capture, significantly enhancing the reliability of at-sea vehicle recovery. He has also contributed to the development of integrated docking and charging devices for unmanned surface vehicles (USV), addressing the pressing need for automated energy replenishment and data transfer in persistent marine operations. By tackling the practical constraints of underwater mating—such as variable currents, limited visibility, and positioning errors—He’s research directly supports the next generation of long-endurance, multi-vehicle ocean observation and intervention systems. His work is already informing the design of more resilient and adaptable marine robotic platforms, making him a notable emerging voice in the field of soft robotics for extreme environments.
