About

Guangmin Dai is a leading researcher at the intersection of bio-inspired robotics and modular underwater systems. Their work focuses on advancing the modeling, control, and reconfiguration of autonomous underwater vehicles, drawing inspiration from biological systems to overcome the limitations of traditional marine robotics. Dai’s highly cited 2022 review, “Recent Progress in Modeling and Control of Bio-Inspired Fish Robots” (87 citations), has become a foundational reference in the field, synthesizing key theoretical and practical advances in high-efficiency, low-noise robotic locomotion. Building on this, Dai introduced the RS-ModCubes system (2025), a groundbreaking self-reconfigurable, modular cubic robot platform that enables scalable multi-robot assemblies with six degrees of freedom and electromagnetic docking. This work promises transformative applications in underwater exploration, infrastructure inspection, and environmental monitoring. With a growing citation impact and a clear trajectory toward practical, deployable systems, Dai is shaping the future of adaptive, bio-inspired marine robotics.
