About

Xuehao Fen is a pioneering researcher at the forefront of biomedical robotics and targeted drug delivery systems. His work centers on the design and optimization of magnetically actuated micro- and milli-robots for precision medicine, with a particular focus on minimally invasive therapeutic interventions. Fen’s major contribution lies in the development of a novel magnetic mother-child robot system, where a larger "mother" robot precisely navigates and deploys smaller "child" microrobots within the body. His landmark 2025 paper, "Design, optimization, and validation of a magnetic mother-child robot system for targeted drug delivery," has already garnered 6 citations, demonstrating immediate impact in this emerging field. In this work, Fen achieved a breakthrough by engineering a CT-MCR mother robot with multi-stiffness and distal constraints for superior maneuverability, while also pioneering a batch assembly method for pH-responsive hydrogel microrobots. His inchworm-shaped magnetic microrobots represent a significant advance in controlled locomotion and drug release. Fen’s innovative approach promises to revolutionize how therapies are delivered to hard-to-reach tissues, marking him as a rising leader in medical microrobotics.
