About

Guijie Liu is a leading researcher in biomimetic robotics and autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) systems, with a focus on bio-inspired propulsion and soft robotics. His work bridges the gap between biological locomotion and engineered systems, particularly through the study of undulating propulsion mechanisms that enhance stability and maneuverability in harsh marine environments. Liu’s most cited paper, “Underwater Undulating Propulsion Biomimetic Robots: A Review” (2023, 73 citations), provides a comprehensive analysis of how undulating biomimetic robots outperform traditional propeller-based designs. He has also pioneered fast-moving soft robots, including spiral-shaped designs inspired by Archimedean geometry (47 citations) and cheetah-inspired piezoelectric robots that achieve rapid, flippable motion (38 citations). His research extends to sensory systems, such as a bionic lateral line for pitch motion perception in AUVs (47 citations), and practical applications like modular underwater vehicles for marine ranch breeding. With over 200 total citations across his key works, Liu’s contributions are advancing the efficiency, agility, and autonomy of underwater robotics, offering transformative solutions for marine exploration, environmental monitoring, and aquaculture.
