About

Dr. Guangfen Wei is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, sensor systems, and biomimetic communication. Her work focuses on two key areas: developing robust multi-sensor platforms for mobile robots operating in extreme environments, and advancing the emerging field of infochemical communication. In her most impactful work (20 citations), Dr. Wei designed and implemented a novel multi-sensor module for mobile robots deployed in hazardous firefighting and search-and-rescue scenarios. By drawing ambient air into internal chambers via a micro air pump, this system enables robots to evaluate critical environmental parameters, significantly enhancing their situational awareness in harsh conditions. Her second major contribution (10 citations) explores the frontier of biosynthetic infochemical communication—using molecular compounds for information transmission. Dr. Wei’s ratiometric decoding approach for pheromones represents a breakthrough in biomimetic communication, with potential applications ranging from pest management to coordinating swarms of autonomous robots. Her innovative work bridges mechanical engineering, chemical sensing, and bio-inspired design, establishing her as a leading voice in creating intelligent systems that can perceive and communicate in complex, real-world environments.
