About
Yanhong Yan is a researcher in the emerging field of bio-robotics, with a specific focus on optical control systems for animal-machine interfaces. Their work centers on developing non-invasive methods to guide the behavior of aquatic organisms, particularly carp, using light stimulation. Yan’s major contribution lies in designing and validating a light stimulation device that enables precise optical control of carp robots, achieving success rates of 53–87% with red light and 50–80% with blue light in behavioral experiments. This foundational study, published in 2018, has garnered 5 citations and demonstrates a feasible approach for steering living organisms through visual cues. More recently, in 2023, Yan advanced this line of inquiry by identifying motor nuclei in the medulla oblongata of carp, providing a neuroanatomical basis for biological control mechanisms. Though early in their career, Yan’s work bridges neuroscience and robotics, offering a promising pathway for developing responsive, animal-based robotic systems. Their research holds potential applications in environmental monitoring and underwater exploration, where traditional robots face limitations.
