About

Jinbin Wu is a pioneering researcher in biohybrid robotics and wireless power transfer, whose work bridges the gap between living organisms and engineered systems. His most impactful contribution is the first-ever demonstration of feedback-controlled aerial navigation using a living insect-machine hybrid robot, published in 2018. By transforming a live insect into a soft robot through embedded artificial devices, Wu bypassed the complexity of mimicking insect locomotion, achieving controlled free flight with 49 citations. This breakthrough opens new frontiers for micro-robotics, environmental monitoring, and search-and-rescue operations. More recently, Wu has advanced wireless power systems for medical capsule robots, designing a two-dimensional ferrite core-based transmitting coil that enhances energy transfer efficiency. His interdisciplinary approach—merging control theory, biomechanics, and electromagnetic engineering—positions him at the forefront of next-generation robotics. With a growing citation record and a reputation for bold, nature-inspired innovation, Wu’s work continues to inspire researchers exploring the integration of biological and artificial systems for real-world applications.
