About
Haoxuan Wang is pioneering the frontier of deep-sea robotics, where extreme pressures and fragile ecosystems demand a radical rethinking of traditional engineering. His core research fuses soft robotics, bio-inspired design, and embedded sensing to create miniature, morphable machines capable of navigating and interacting with the abyssal ocean. Wang’s most celebrated work, the "Miniature deep-sea morphable robot with multimodal locomotion" (2025, 50 citations), introduces a centimeter-scale soft actuator that can transform its shape and movement, enabling unprecedented access to delicate deep-sea environments. He further advances this vision with a Nitinol-embedded wearable soft robotic gripper (2024, 18 citations) for non-destructive sample collection, and a sensorized gripper (2025) that estimates contact forces, bridging the gap between manipulation and perception. His development of the UTact underwater tactile sensor (2025) adds a crucial layer of interactive feedback, allowing robots to "feel" their surroundings. By integrating shape-memory alloys and flexible sensors, Wang is not just building tools—he is redefining how we explore and preserve the ocean’s last frontier, making him a leading voice in the next generation of marine robotics.
