About

Qinkai Chen is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of micro-robotics, nanomanipulation, and bio-inspired soft robotics. His work focuses on developing miniature robotic systems capable of precise intervention at the cellular and molecular levels, with direct applications in targeted drug delivery, minimally invasive surgery, and cell manipulation. Chen’s most cited paper, “Microgripper Robot with End Electropermanent Magnet Collaborative Actuation” (2024, 10 citations), introduces a novel magnetic microgripper that combines miniaturization with untethered, programmable actuation—a critical advance for operating in hard-to-reach anatomical regions. His forward-looking review, “From Nano Robotic Manipulation to Nano Manipulation Robot” (2025, 7 citations), traces the conceptual shift from passive observation to active atomic-scale manipulation, establishing a foundational framework for the field. Additionally, his “Octopus-Inspired Soft Robot for Slow Drug Release” (2024, 6 citations) demonstrates how biomimetic suckers can enable controlled, sustained therapeutic delivery. Collectively, Chen’s contributions are shaping the next generation of intelligent, minimally invasive robotic tools, bridging fundamental robotics with transformative biomedical applications.
