About
Yiqi Shao is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of soft robotics and energy storage, with a primary focus on bio-inspired underwater systems. Their most notable contribution is the development of a multifunctional aqueous battery that serves a dual purpose in a high-capacity jellyfish robot, effectively merging structural and power components. This innovation addresses a critical bottleneck in untethered underwater vehicles (UUVs), where traditional batteries occupy significant space and limit robot size and endurance. By designing batteries composed primarily of liquid media, Shao has enabled the robot’s body itself to act as an energy reservoir, dramatically increasing volumetric efficiency and operational range. This work, published in 2024 and already garnering 9 citations, demonstrates Shao’s ability to challenge conventional design paradigms and create integrated, bio-inspired solutions. Their research promises to reshape the future of autonomous underwater exploration, making robots more compact, efficient, and capable of extended missions. Shao’s work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in soft robotics, energy systems, and biomimetic engineering.
