About

Jinkai Che is a leading researcher in the field of bionic robotics and soft actuation, with a primary focus on water hydraulic artificial muscles (WHAMs) for underwater applications. His work addresses critical challenges in the durability and performance of flexible actuators, particularly in harsh aquatic environments. Che’s most notable contribution is his detailed analysis of fatigue behavior in WHAMs, where he investigated crack propagation in neoprene rubber and derived S-N curves to predict actuator lifespan under varying elastic loads. This research, published in 2023, has already garnered 5 citations, underscoring its relevance to the development of long-lasting, bio-inspired robotic systems. By bridging material science and fluid power engineering, Che’s findings enable more reliable designs for underwater exploration, rescue, and maintenance robots. His work not only advances the theoretical understanding of rubber fatigue in hydraulic systems but also provides practical guidelines for engineers seeking to optimize artificial muscle longevity. As a rising voice in soft robotics, Che continues to push the boundaries of actuator resilience, making him a key figure to watch in the evolution of bionic technologies.
