About
Liguo Han is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, mechanical design, and origami-inspired engineering. His work focuses on developing adaptive robotic systems capable of navigating complex, unstructured environments, with a particular emphasis on deployable structures and variable geometry mechanisms. Han’s most impactful contribution is the design of a coal mine robot with variable wheel diameter, which leverages a novel gear, connecting rod, and sliding rail mechanism to dynamically alter wheel size. This innovation enables the robot to traverse challenging terrains, directly addressing the safety and efficiency needs of underground operations—a paper that has already garnered 7 citations since 2025. Additionally, Han has advanced the field of origami robotics by analyzing the mechanical behaviors of waterbomb thin-shell structures under quasi-static loads. His work on square, rectangular, and other novel waterbomb configurations (5 citations) demonstrates how these radially deployable components can enhance robot adaptability. By merging theoretical mechanics with practical design, Han is shaping the future of resilient, shape-shifting robots for hazardous environments.
