About

Jing-Han Guan is a rising innovator in precision robotics and micro-nano manipulation, with a focus on piezoelectric actuators and smart material-driven systems. Their research addresses critical challenges in high-precision positioning, aiming to achieve large stroke, low coupling error, and simplified control for applications ranging from micro-object handling to cross-scale locomotion. Guan’s most influential work, the "Monopod Piezoelectric Robot" (2024, 18 citations), introduces a novel design for small parasitic displacement and planar movement, offering a breakthrough for micro-nano positioning platforms. Complementing this, their "spatial 3-DOF piezoelectric robot" (2024, 16 citations) enhances speed and efficiency through an improved stick-slip principle. Guan also explores shape memory alloy (SMA) actuation, as demonstrated in their "Robot joint module based on universal joint configuration" (2023), contributing to modular robotics with simplified structures. Their latest work, a "single-end 3-DOF piezoelectric micromanipulator" (2025), enables precise posture control of micro-objects, showcasing Guan’s commitment to advancing micromanipulation technology. With a growing citation record and a portfolio that bridges fundamental design and practical application, Guan is establishing themselves as a key contributor to the next generation of high-precision robotic systems.
