About

Bowen Yuan is a researcher in bio-inspired robotics, with a focused interest in developing agile, efficient underwater robots modeled after biological swimmers. His primary research areas include structural optimization, trajectory planning, and pneumatic actuation for amphibious and aquatic robotic systems. Yuan’s most cited work, "Optimization of a frog inspired robot powered by pneumatic muscles" (2017, 3 citations), investigates the frog’s explosive swimming mechanism and applies pneumatic muscles to achieve powerful, flexible motion. He further advanced this line of inquiry in "Research on Structural Optimization Design and Trajectory Planning of Frog-inspired Robot" (2020, 2 citations), where he refined limb dimensions and motion paths to enhance robot performance in complex marine environments. Though his citation counts are modest, Yuan’s contributions are notable for their novel integration of biological principles with mechanical design, addressing the challenge of creating robots that can safely and effectively explore hazardous underwater settings. His work represents a meaningful step toward more adaptive, nature-inspired autonomous systems, offering valuable insights for students and researchers interested in biomimetics, soft robotics, and marine engineering.
