About

Xurui Liu is a pioneering researcher at the frontier of magnetic soft robotics and minimally invasive biomedical interventions. His work centers on developing intelligent, wirelessly controlled miniature robots capable of performing complex therapeutic tasks inside the human body. Liu’s most impactful contribution is the invention of ferromagnetic soft catheter robots for in vivo bioprinting (223 citations), a breakthrough that enables direct fabrication of artificial tissues on target sites within the body, moving beyond surface-level applications. He has also introduced magnetic soft microfiberbots for robotic embolization (165 citations), offering a new paradigm for treating life-threatening cerebral aneurysms and brain tumors through precise, minimally invasive vessel occlusion. Further expanding the capabilities of untethered systems, Liu demonstrated that focused ultrasound can achieve selective actuation and Newton-level force output from soft robots (44 citations), overcoming a critical limitation in the field. His work on reconfigurable electromagnetic actuation systems (29 citations) and insect-scale biped robots (25 citations) showcases his commitment to practical, scalable solutions. With over 500 total citations across his top papers, Liu is shaping the future of interventional medicine and soft robotics.
