About

Kaiyuan Sun is a rising innovator in the field of micro/nanoscale robotics, with a primary focus on the design and propulsion of physically actuated micro/nanoscale robots (MNRs). His work addresses a critical challenge in the field: achieving precise, controllable motion for these tiny machines to perform specialized tasks in medicine and engineering. Sun’s most cited paper, "Promising advances in physically propelled micro/nanoscale robots" (2024, 12 citations), provides a comprehensive overview of propulsion methods—such as magnetic, acoustic, and optical drives—that enable MNRs to navigate complex environments and target specific barriers. This contribution synthesizes key advances and identifies future directions, serving as a valuable resource for researchers seeking to harness physical forces for robotic control. Though early in his career, Sun’s work has already garnered attention for its clarity and forward-looking perspective. His research promises to unlock new possibilities in targeted drug delivery, environmental remediation, and minimally invasive surgery, positioning him as a promising voice in the next generation of micro-roboticists.
