About

Mingxin Xun is a rising leader in the field of piezoelectric robotics, specializing in the design of high-precision, multi-degree-of-freedom (DOF) motion systems for cross-scale manipulation. His work bridges the gap between micro-nano positioning and macro-scale robotic locomotion, addressing critical challenges in actuation accuracy, electromagnetic compatibility, and system simplification. Xun’s most cited paper, “Piezo robotic hand for motion manipulation from micro to macro” (2023, 130 citations), introduces a novel robotic hand capable of manipulating objects across scales, offering a breakthrough in dexterity and precision for robotic systems. He further advanced the field with the development of a one-legged piezoelectric robot (2024, 21 citations) that achieves agile motion, high speed, and large load capacity through a skateboard-inspired ultrasonic design. His monopod robot (2024, 18 citations) enables planar cross-scale locomotion with minimal parasitic displacement, while his quadruped micromanipulation robot (2024, 14 citations) leverages three-DOF ultrasonic vibration legs for enhanced stability and control. Xun’s work is widely recognized for its potential to revolutionize applications in micro-assembly, biomedical devices, and precision manufacturing, establishing him as a key innovator in smart materials and robotics.
