About

Xue Lin is a multidisciplinary researcher whose work spans two compelling domains: autonomous robot navigation and miniaturized power electronics for micro-robotic systems. In the field of robotics, Lin has made notable contributions to semantic mapping, proposing innovative semantic grid mapping methods that enhance domestic robot navigation beyond conventional occupancy grid approaches, enabling robots to interpret and interact with real-world environments more intelligently — work that has garnered 29 citations since its 2020 publication. Equally significant is Lin's extensive research into miniature power conversion systems for micro-scale robotic platforms. From analyzing power considerations for MAST systems (14 citations) to developing fully integrated switched-capacitor step-up converters capable of driving piezo actuators in millimeter-scale flying micro-robots (17 citations), Lin has consistently tackled one of the most demanding challenges in microrobotics: supplying reliable, efficient power at vanishingly small scales. Lin's contributions to MEMS-based and high-frequency CMOS power converter design further underscore a sustained commitment to enabling the next generation of autonomous microsystems. Together, these research threads position Lin as a versatile innovator bridging intelligent robotics and cutting-edge microelectronics.
