About

Fushen Ren is a robotics researcher specializing in underwater and amphibious robotic systems for marine infrastructure inspection and maintenance. His work focuses on three key areas: motion control of remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), underwater perception and ranging, and the development of portable amphibious robots for challenging environments such as offshore platform pile legs and ship hulls. Ren’s most cited papers include a study on ROV sliding mode controller design and simulation (11 citations), which advances the stability and maneuverability of underwater robots, and a 2024 paper on underwater robot ranging technology using semantic segmentation and binocular vision (11 citations), which provides a theoretical framework for underwater camera calibration and target identification. He also developed a portable magnetic adsorption amphibious robot capable of operating both above and below the waterline, and a small modular amphibious robot system for inspecting marine engineering facilities damaged by biofouling and wave erosion. Notably, his earlier work on a portable all-position welding robot for intersected pipes demonstrates his long-standing commitment to practical, field-deployable robotic solutions. With a growing citation record and a focus on real-world applications, Ren is contributing meaningfully to the advancement of autonomous systems for marine safety and infrastructure resilience.
