About
Dr. Jingyu Che is pioneering the frontier of insect-scale robotics, where the fundamental challenge is achieving powerful, adaptive motion in millimeter-sized systems. Her research centers on bio-inspired micro-actuation and active morphing, developing novel mechanisms that overcome the severe limitations of surface-to-volume ratios at tiny scales. Dr. Che’s major contributions include the creation of a novel electric stimulus-responsive micro-actuator, which enables powerful biomimetic motions in a form factor previously constrained by material physics. Her most impactful work, "Arc-heating actuated active-morphing insect robots" (2025, 10 citations), introduces a fundamental hardware innovation that allows robots to actively change their shape—morphing—to navigate complex environments, a capability long observed in nature but difficult to replicate. This work addresses the critical need for sophisticated structural designs at the insect scale without relying on bulky components. With her publications already garnering attention in the emerging field of soft robotics and micro-engineering, Dr. Che’s research is laying the groundwork for a new generation of agile, resilient micro-robots for applications in search-and-rescue, environmental monitoring, and biomedical devices.
