About

Wenfu Wu is a pioneering researcher in agricultural robotics, specializing in the locomotion and perception systems of granary robots operating on loose grain terrains. His major contributions lie in developing screw-drive mechanisms that enable stable travel on soft, granular surfaces—a critical challenge for autonomous grain storage management. Wu’s foundational work, “Interaction mechanics model for screw‐drive wheel of granary robot traveling on the loose grain terrain” (2022, 20 citations), established a predictive contact mechanics model that has become a key reference for designing robots on deformable terrains. He further refined this design in “Influence of screw blades on the performance of a screw‐drive granary robot” (2023, 10 citations), demonstrating how blade parameters directly affect driving efficiency. Expanding into perception, Wu’s recent study “Surface Reconstruction and Volume Calculation of Grain Pile Based on Point Cloud Information from Multiple Viewpoints” (2025, 4 citations) addresses intelligent grain monitoring, overcoming lighting limitations to achieve accurate volume estimation. His work bridges mechanical design and computer vision, advancing smart agriculture and food storage safety. With a growing citation record and a focus on practical, deployable solutions, Wu is shaping the future of autonomous grain handling systems.
