About
Yixiang He is a researcher in bio-inspired robotics and nonlinear fluid-structure interactions, with a focus on soft robotic systems for underwater locomotion. His most-cited work, “Utilization of nonlinear vibrations of soft pipe conveying fluid for driving underwater bio-inspired robot” (2022, 20 citations), introduces a novel approach that harnesses the nonlinear vibrations of a soft pipe conveying fluid to propel underwater robots. Drawing inspiration from elongated aquatic creatures like snakes and eels, He’s research demonstrates how controlled body swaying can generate frictional and collisional forces with the surrounding fluid, enabling efficient forward motion. This work bridges nonlinear dynamics and soft robotics, offering a new paradigm for designing simple, compliant, and energy-efficient underwater vehicles. By leveraging fluid-induced vibrations rather than traditional propellers or joints, He’s contributions open pathways for quieter, more adaptable robotic systems in marine exploration and environmental monitoring. His research is particularly notable for its integration of theoretical vibration analysis with practical robotic design, showcasing how fundamental mechanics can drive innovative engineering solutions.
