About

Miaochen Guo is a robotics researcher specializing in bio-inspired amphibious and underwater locomotion systems. Their work focuses on developing novel robotic platforms that can seamlessly transition between terrestrial and aquatic environments, addressing fundamental challenges in energy efficiency, dynamic performance, and multi-modal mobility. Guo’s most impactful contributions include the design of a water jet thruster for an amphibious jumping robot, enabling exceptional jumping capabilities on land and in water—a critical innovation for search-and-rescue and environmental monitoring in complex terrains. Additionally, they proposed a dual-mode small underwater robot with cruise and tracking modes, optimizing energy use while maintaining agile motion control for straight-swimming, turning, and burst maneuvers. Though their highly cited papers (each with 4 citations) represent early-stage work, these designs have laid groundwork for future amphibious robotics. Guo’s research bridges mechanical design and motion control, offering practical solutions for robots operating in unstructured environments. Their work is particularly notable for addressing the conflict between energy conservation and dynamic performance, a persistent hurdle in underwater robotics.
