About
Shane Kyi Hla Win is a pioneering robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of bio-inspired design, soft robotics, and aerial locomotion. His primary research areas include biomimetic flight, soft-bodied robots, and autonomous navigation in challenging environments. Win’s most notable contribution is the development of FiBa (Fiber-Balloon) soft robots, which achieve untethered crawling, climbing, perching, and flying—a significant breakthrough in overcoming the power and tethering limitations that have long constrained soft robotics (52 citations). He is also the driving force behind samara-inspired aerial robots, including the Agile Samara-Inspired Single-Actuator Aerial Robot (31 citations) and the Adaptive Reconfigurable Rotary Wings (ARROWs) platform (15 citations), which mimic the autorotating descent of maple seeds for efficient, lightweight flight. His work on sparse sensing array optimization (21 citations) addresses autonomous navigation in deep hazardous tunnels, while the Spherical Indoor Coandă Effect Drone (SpICED) (6 citations) prioritizes safety for human-robot interaction indoors. Win’s research consistently pushes the boundaries of what is possible with minimal actuation and novel materials, earning him recognition as a leader in creating agile, multifunctional robots for real-world deployment.
