About

Qi Shao is a researcher specializing in biomedical robotics and wireless medical technologies, with a particular focus on capsule endoscopy and ingestible micromedical systems. His work addresses fundamental engineering challenges in next-generation capsule robots, including energy supply, thermal safety, and locomotive design within the complex environment of the human gastrointestinal tract. Among his notable contributions, Shao has investigated the interaction between wireless power transfer (WPT) and capacitive coupling human body communication, exploring how energy can be safely delivered to increasingly sensor-rich capsule devices — work that has garnered 9 citations and remains relevant to the growing field of in-body wireless systems. He has also contributed thermal analysis frameworks for "internal force-static friction" capsule robots, identifying the heat-related risks posed by electric actuators in confined biological environments. Additionally, his design and analysis of micro legged capsule robots proposes innovative telescopic and translational mechanisms as safer, more feasible locomotion solutions. Shao's research collectively advances the miniaturization, safety, and autonomous capability of ingestible robotic systems, making meaningful strides toward practical, patient-safe diagnostic and therapeutic devices for gastrointestinal medicine.
