About
Xindong Shi is a leading researcher in bio-inspired robotics, specializing in the hydrodynamics and control of undulating fin robots. His work focuses on understanding how flexible, fin-like structures can enable efficient and versatile locomotion in complex aquatic and amphibious environments. Shi’s major contributions include developing comprehensive dynamic models that account for flexible deformation and fluid-fin interactions, and creating a CPG-based framework for flexible locomotion control. His research has demonstrated how bionic undulating fins can achieve stable propulsion under varying water conditions, with key papers accumulating over 100 citations. Notably, his 2024 study on nonlinear dynamics of ground undulatory fin robots introduced a novel rigid-flex connection that grants fins both active flexibility and load-bearing capacity, enabling amphibious motion across underwater, terrestrial, and marshy terrains. Shi’s work on unsteady coupling effects in parallel undulating fins and the influence of motion patterns on hydrodynamic performance has advanced the design of more agile and efficient biomimetic underwater robots. His findings are pivotal for developing next-generation autonomous underwater vehicles capable of navigating challenging environments.
