About
Dr. Longqi Ran is a pioneering researcher in the field of soft robotics and bioinspired microrobotics, with a focus on developing agile, untethered systems that mimic the remarkable locomotion and resilience of insects. Their most notable contribution is the creation of an untethered soft microrobot driven by a single actuator, capable of agile navigation through tight spaces and robust impact resistance—directly inspired by the cockroach’s exoskeleton and controlled movement. This work, published in 2025 and already garnering 8 citations, addresses a long-standing challenge in microrobotics: replicating the speed, flexibility, and durability of biological organisms in a compact, controllable platform. Dr. Ran’s research bridges bioinspiration and engineering, offering transformative potential for applications in search-and-rescue, environmental monitoring, and minimally invasive medicine. By demonstrating that a single actuator can achieve complex, agile motions, they have opened new avenues for simplifying microrobot design while enhancing performance. Their achievements highlight a commitment to pushing the boundaries of soft robotics, making them a rising leader in this rapidly evolving field.
