About

Chenggen Wu is a pioneering researcher in the field of bio-inspired soft robotics, with a focus on light-driven locomotion, wireless communication, and tactile perception. His major contributions include the development of a multidirectional locomotion light-driven soft crawling robot (2023, 41 citations), which overcomes the limitations of complex drive modes to achieve versatile, untethered movement. He further advanced the field with a localizable, identifiable, and perceptive untethered light-driven soft crawling robot (2022, 38 citations), integrating motion, communication, and sensing capabilities—a significant leap toward autonomous soft robots. Wu also explored dynamic powerline detection for UAVs using an attention-fused looming detector (2022, 4 citations), addressing a critical safety challenge in low-altitude flights. Additionally, his work on a wireless “Janus” soft gripper with multiple tactile sensors (2022, 2 citations) demonstrates innovative wireless interconnection between robot terminals and processing systems, enabling intelligent feedback. With over 85 citations across his key works, Wu’s research is shaping the future of soft robotics, making them more autonomous, perceptive, and applicable in real-world environments.
