About
Szu-I Yeh is a researcher specializing in bio-inspired flapping-wing aerodynamics and robotic flight, with a focus on understanding the complex kinematics of birds and bats. Their major contributions include the design of a novel multiarticulate flapping-wing robot with five degrees of freedom per wing, which emulates the intricate wing-folding motions of hovering passerines. This work, published in 2021, has garnered 14 citations and sheds light on how wing-folding amplitude affects aerodynamic performance—a critical area for advancing micro aerial vehicle design. More recently, Yeh explored the role of wing membrane elasticity in bat-inspired robots, developing a two-degree-of-freedom flapping mechanism to study how flexible membranes influence lift and stability. This 2025 study, with 4 citations, underscores Yeh’s commitment to bridging biological principles with engineering applications. Their research not only deepens our understanding of natural flight but also paves the way for more agile, efficient drones. Yeh’s work is particularly notable for its hands-on, robotic approach, making complex aerodynamic concepts accessible to both engineers and biologists.
