About
Yang Nan is a leading innovator in micro-robotics and wireless power transfer, whose work bridges the gap between microscopic devices and real-world applications. His most influential contribution, a 2020 paper on a flexible microsystem capable of controlled motion and actuation by wireless power transfer, has garnered over 120 citations, underscoring its impact on the field. This breakthrough demonstrates how untethered, millimeter-scale robots can be precisely maneuvered and activated without onboard batteries, opening new possibilities for minimally invasive medicine, environmental sensing, and micro-assembly. Nan’s research focuses on designing soft, compliant structures that harvest energy wirelessly, enabling unprecedented levels of autonomy in tiny machines. His work is notable for its practical integration of materials science, electromagnetics, and micro-fabrication, offering a scalable pathway toward intelligent, self-powered microsystems. For students and researchers, Yang Nan’s achievements exemplify how creative engineering can solve fundamental challenges in size, power, and control, inspiring the next generation of micro-roboticists to think small but aim big.
