About
Xuan Pei is a robotics researcher whose work spans bio-inspired design, soft robotics, and autonomous navigation. Pei’s major contributions include developing novel algorithms and hardware for mobile robots, with a particular focus on improving efficiency and maneuverability in challenging environments. Their most-cited paper, “A Spiral Coverage Path Planning Algorithm for Nonomnidirectional Robots” (2025, 8 citations), addresses the complex problem of complete coverage for robots with limited steering, reducing path overlap and incomplete area coverage. Pei has also pioneered bio-inspired aquatic robots, including a bionic manta ray driven by dielectric elastomer actuators (2023, 7 citations) and a lightweight untethered soft robotic fish (2024, 4 citations), both advancing underwater soft robotics. Another notable contribution is the cavity-membrane-based water-jet bio-inspired thruster (2023, 5 citations), which enables multidirectional acceleration for underwater vehicles. Pei’s work on multimodal mobile robots and bio-inspired vision systems further demonstrates their versatility. With a growing citation record and a focus on practical, nature-inspired solutions, Pei is a rising figure in robotics, pushing the boundaries of autonomous systems and soft actuation.
