About
Ke Qi is a leading researcher in the field of bioinspired soft robotics and advanced functional materials, with a particular focus on developing multi-stimuli responsive actuators. Their major contributions center on designing novel bilayer composite actuators that mimic complex biological movements, such as the human flicking finger motion. Qi’s most cited work, an electrically and sunlight-driven actuator based on rolled carbon nanotube bilayer composites (285 citations), demonstrates versatile biomimetic motions including kicking, grabbing, and creeping, showcasing significant potential for soft robotics applications. In subsequent work, Qi developed a powerful dual-responsive soft actuator and photo-to-electric generator based on graphene micro-gasbags (50 citations), enabling diverse bioinspired movements like vegetable leaf grabbing and human hand motion. These innovations have been highlighted in high-impact journals including *Advanced Functional Materials*, where their work on a soft jumping robot inspired by flicking finger motion received special recognition. With over 340 combined citations, Qi’s research continues to push boundaries in creating sophisticated, configurable actuators that bridge the gap between biological inspiration and practical robotic systems, offering transformative possibilities for biomimetic robotics and energy harvesting technologies.
