About

Xuejin Wen’s research lies at the intersection of robotics, wireless communications, and autonomous navigation in extreme environments. His work addresses the critical challenge of maintaining reliable connectivity for robots operating in GPS-denied, signal-degraded spaces such as underground tunnels and mines. In his most-cited study, “Performance evaluation of wi-fi for underground robots,” Wen provides an empirical analysis of WiFi performance during aerial-ground robotic missions for mapping, navigation, and search in unknown subterranean settings. This work quantifies how wireless signals attenuate around obstacles and through complex geometries, offering essential guidelines for designing resilient communication systems in disaster response and industrial inspection. While his citation count is still emerging, Wen’s contributions are foundational for the growing field of underground robotics, where reliable data links are as vital as mobility. His research directly supports the development of autonomous systems that can operate in hazardous, inaccessible areas—advancing both practical deployment and theoretical understanding of wireless performance in non-ideal conditions.
