About
Xianming Wei is a pioneering researcher in bio-inspired robotics, specializing in the design and dynamic analysis of bipedal robots capable of running on water. His work is deeply inspired by the basilisk lizard, a creature renowned for its ability to sprint across water surfaces. Wei’s major contributions lie in the development of novel lifting and propulsion mechanisms that replicate this biological feat, particularly through the integration of the Watt-I planar linkage system. His most-cited paper, "A Bio-Inspired Biped Water Running Robot Incorporating the Watt-I Planar Linkage Mechanism" (2013, 26 citations), lays the foundation for this innovative approach. Through detailed kinematic and fluid-structure interaction analyses, Wei has elucidated the complex dynamics of foot trajectories and pressure distributions, enabling robots to generate sufficient lift and thrust on water. His work has garnered over 57 citations across his top publications, reflecting its significance in advancing the field of bio-inspired locomotion. By bridging mechanical engineering and biology, Wei has opened new avenues for amphibious robotics, with potential applications in search-and-rescue, environmental monitoring, and beyond.
