About
Dr. Wenji Liu is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics, artificial intelligence, and marine biology, whose work is pioneering the development of intelligent, bionic underwater robots. Her primary research areas include physics-based simulation for robot learning, reinforcement learning for locomotion, and biomimetic design. Dr. Liu’s most notable contribution is the creation of "FishGym," a high-performance physics-based simulation framework that addresses a critical bottleneck in the field: the scarcity of training data for underwater robots. By providing a realistic, efficient environment for training AI controllers, FishGym enables robots to learn complex behaviors—such as agile swimming and obstacle avoidance—that mimic real aquatic creatures. This work, published in 2022 and already garnering 22 citations, has become a foundational tool for researchers seeking to bridge the simulation-to-reality gap. Dr. Liu’s achievements are not only advancing autonomous underwater vehicle capabilities but also inspiring a new generation of roboticists to explore the deep sea through intelligent, animal-inspired design.
