About

Dr. Yixuan Geng is a leading figure in bio-inspired robotics, with a primary focus on the design and control of underwater robotic systems. Her most cited work, "Design and Control of Bionic Manta Ray Robot With Flexible Pectoral Fin" (2018, 24 citations), represents a significant breakthrough in biomimetic locomotion. By synthesizing detailed biological observations of manta rays, Dr. Geng developed a novel robot that replicates the flexible, high-efficiency propulsion of its natural counterpart. This contribution addresses a long-standing challenge in underwater robotics: achieving agile, silent, and energy-efficient movement. Her research bridges the gap between biological fluid dynamics and mechanical engineering, offering a blueprint for next-generation autonomous underwater vehicles. Dr. Geng’s work has been recognized for its practical impact on marine exploration and environmental monitoring, where her robots can navigate complex aquatic environments with minimal disturbance. Her innovative approach to flexible pectoral fin design continues to inspire new directions in soft robotics and bio-inspired engineering, making her a key voice in the field of bionic systems.
