About

Lingji Kong is a pioneering researcher in the field of autonomous robotics, with a particular focus on energy-autonomous aerial systems. His most-cited work, "Symbiotic energy paradigm for self-sustaining aerial robots" (2025), introduces a groundbreaking framework that enables drones to harvest and manage energy from their environment, effectively eliminating the need for frequent recharging or battery swaps. This paradigm shift has the potential to revolutionize long-duration missions in remote or hazardous areas, such as environmental monitoring, disaster response, and agricultural surveillance. With 10 citations in a short span, the paper has already garnered attention for its novel integration of energy harvesting, storage, and adaptive flight control. Kong’s contributions lie at the intersection of robotics, energy systems, and artificial intelligence, offering a sustainable path forward for aerial autonomy. His work is particularly notable for its practical implications, addressing one of the most critical bottlenecks in drone technology: limited operational endurance. As a rising voice in the field, Kong continues to inspire researchers and students alike to rethink the boundaries of what self-sustaining robots can achieve.
