About
Yujun Ji is a researcher at the forefront of smart materials and bio-inspired robotics, with a focus on developing adaptive, multifunctional systems. Their work spans three key areas: dual-responsive actuators, metamorphic crawling robots, and bionic artificial receptors. Ji’s major contributions include designing an environmentally friendly actuator using Nafion, carboxylated multiwalled carbon nanotubes, and polyethylene—a dual-responsive material that overcomes the instability of single-stimulus actuators, earning 10 citations. They also advanced quadruped robotics with a metamorphic mechanism-based crawling robot (7 citations), enhancing adaptability in challenging terrains through structural innovation. In bio-inspired sensing, Ji developed an artificial receptor that integrates tactile and pain-warning capabilities (7 citations), mimicking human skin’s ion-electrical effects for nuanced perception. Additionally, their bionic fish driven by four IPMC fins (3 citations) showcases practical applications in underwater locomotion. With a growing citation impact and a portfolio that bridges materials science, robotics, and biomimicry, Ji is shaping the future of intelligent, responsive systems for real-world environments.
