About

Qixiao Ji is a pioneering researcher in the field of bioinspired soft robotics, specializing in light-driven autonomous actuators and self-sustained oscillating systems. Their work focuses on developing untethered soft actuators that mimic biological intelligence, enabling continuous, directional motion without external energy input. Ji’s major contributions include the creation of MXene-based bimorph actuators that harness natural sunlight fluctuations for self-locomotion, and black phosphorus-carbon nanotube heterostructures that achieve phototactic movement. Their most cited paper (201 citations) introduces a light-driven self-sustained wavelike oscillation actuator capable of both phototactic locomotion and power generation—a breakthrough for autonomous biomimetic robots. Another highly influential work (179 citations) demonstrates an asymmetric microstructural MXene film actuator that moves spontaneously under natural sunlight. Ji has also developed insect larvae-inspired jumping actuators with precise, controllable motion. With over 700 total citations across their top papers, Ji’s innovations in self-oscillating, light-responsive soft actuators are advancing the frontiers of smart materials, microrobotics, and autonomous systems for industrial and environmental applications.
