About
Guijun Chen is a leading researcher in the fields of micro-robotics, energy harvesting, and microfluidic actuation, with a particular focus on developing innovative power and control strategies for aquatic microsystems. His most notable contribution is the pioneering integration of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) with electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) actuators, a breakthrough that enables the untethered, low-power manipulation of droplets and the propulsion of concealed aquatic microbots. This work, published in 2020 and garnering 46 citations, directly addresses a critical limitation in the field: the reliance on bulky, high-frequency power sources for mechanical actuation. By demonstrating a self-powered, wirelessly controlled actuation mechanism, Chen’s research opens new avenues for autonomous environmental monitoring, inspection, and exploration in confined aquatic spaces. His work stands out for its elegant fusion of energy harvesting and micro-actuation, offering a scalable and efficient solution that reduces system complexity. Chen’s contributions are essential reading for researchers and students interested in the next generation of soft robotics, lab-on-a-chip devices, and autonomous microsystems, showcasing a clear path toward more intelligent and self-sufficient aquatic robots.
