About

Hao Su is a robotics and automation researcher whose work spans cooperative robotic systems, medical robotics, and micro-manipulation technologies. His research addresses some of the most technically demanding challenges at the intersection of control theory, mechanical design, and biomedical applications. Su's early contributions focused on decentralized dynamic control for robot collectives, developing sophisticated algorithms enabling multiple nonholonomic wheeled mobile manipulators to cooperatively transport payloads — a foundational problem in multi-robot coordination. This work demonstrated his ability to tackle complex, real-world motion and force control challenges in distributed systems. His research subsequently extended into the precision biomedical domain, where he made notable advances in automated cell manipulation. His development of piezoelectric-driven injectors for non-toxic Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) automation represented a significant step toward replacing imprecise manual microinjection procedures with reliable, robot-assisted alternatives. Complementing this, his investigations into force sensing and control for suspended cell injection systems further refined the delicate feedback mechanisms essential for safe and accurate cellular intervention. With citations accumulating across these diverse contributions, Su has established a meaningful research presence in both industrial robotics coordination and emerging medical micro-robotics — areas of growing importance as automation increasingly intersects with healthcare and precision biology.
