About
Yuze Xu is a pioneering robotics researcher whose work bridges bio-inspired design and advanced actuation to create more efficient, agile, and capable robotic systems. His primary research areas span underwater robotics, legged locomotion, and humanoid manipulation, with a focus on hybrid propulsion and biomimetic actuation. Xu’s most cited work, “Design and Control of an Underwater Robot Based on Hybrid Propulsion of Quadrotor and Bionic Undulating Fin” (30 citations), introduces a novel approach that combines propeller and bionic fin propulsion for stable, quiet, and efficient underwater operation—a significant advancement for marine robotics. He has also made notable contributions to legged robot design, including the OmniLeg mechanism (5 citations), a concentrated-driven bionic leg enabling omnidirectional locomotion through innovative 3D dual-parallelogram linkages, and a reconfigurable 3D thrust vector leg (1 citation) that reduces rotational inertia for enhanced agility. In actuation, Xu developed a bio-inspired hydraulic actuator (7 citations) that mimics human muscle efficiency, addressing the critical bottleneck of load capacity in mobile and wearable robots. His work on a centrally driven humanoid robotic arm (2 citations) further demonstrates his commitment to reducing inertia and improving response speed in human-robot collaboration. With a growing citation impact and a clear trajectory toward practical, high-efficiency robotics, Xu is shaping the future of bio-inspired mechanical design.
