About

Dr. Yu Xiang See To is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of biohybrid robotics and swarm intelligence, best known for their groundbreaking work on cyborg-insect navigation. Their most-cited paper, "Swarm navigation of cyborg-insects in unknown obstructed soft terrain" (2025, 29 citations), introduces a novel framework that integrates living insects with miniature electronic controllers to create programmable, energy-efficient hybrid robots. Unlike conventional robots, these cyborg-insects excel in adapting to complex, obstructed, and soft terrains, offering sustained locomotion without the power constraints of traditional systems. Dr. See To’s major contribution lies in demonstrating how swarms of these biohybrid agents can autonomously navigate unknown environments, opening new frontiers for search-and-rescue missions, environmental monitoring, and precision agriculture. Their work bridges robotics, entomology, and control theory, achieving a rare synergy between biological adaptability and engineered reliability. By leveraging the insects’ innate sensory and locomotive capabilities, Dr. See To has redefined the potential of swarm robotics in unstructured settings. This notable achievement has already garnered significant attention, positioning them as a rising leader in the field and inspiring future research into scalable, living-machine systems.
