About

Dexu Kong is a leading researcher in the field of ultrasonic motor technology, with a particular focus on innovative propulsion systems for micro underwater vehicles (MUVs). His most cited work, "A Novel Dual-Rotor Ultrasonic Motor for Underwater Propulsion" (2019), has garnered 19 citations and addresses a critical challenge in MUV design: the limitations of conventional electromagnetic motors, which require bulky mechanical transmission components that hinder miniaturization and efficiency. Kong’s major contribution lies in pioneering dual-rotor ultrasonic motors that eliminate these transmission parts, enabling more compact, agile, and reliable underwater propulsion. This breakthrough has significant implications for underwater exploration, where maneuverability and size are paramount. His research bridges mechanical engineering and robotics, offering a novel solution to a persistent bottleneck in MUV development. With a growing citation record, Kong’s work is gaining recognition as a foundational step toward next-generation autonomous underwater vehicles, positioning him as an emerging authority in ultrasonic actuation and marine robotics.
