About
Junnan Xue is a rising star in the field of magnetic soft robotics, whose work is redefining the capabilities of miniature, wirelessly controlled machines. His research focuses on the design, modeling, and control of magnetic continuum robots and insect-scale locomotors, with a strong emphasis on enabling versatile, untethered motion for biomedical applications. Xue’s major contributions include pioneering the use of magnetic origami springs for multi-modal locomotion, developing kinematic models for magnetically-actuated robotic catheters in complex multi-field environments, and introducing an asymmetrical friction effect for robust bipedal locomotion at the insect scale. His work on magnetic continuum robots with modular axial magnetization and in-situ reprogramming capabilities has further pushed the boundaries of minimally invasive surgical tools. With over 100 citations across his most influential papers, Xue’s research has garnered significant attention for its innovative approaches to sensing-actuation compatibility and open-loop control. Notably, his 2025 paper on miniature magneto-ultrasonic machines represents a breakthrough in wireless robotic sensing and manipulation, promising to advance intelligent biomedical systems.
