About
Ze Wu is a pioneering researcher in the field of soft robotics and smart materials, with a focus on bioinspired actuators and flexible systems. His major contributions center on the development of multi-stimulus responsive soft actuators, particularly those leveraging MXene-based structures for enhanced performance. Wu’s work on laterally heterogeneous MXene designs enables synergistic control under various stimuli, achieving predictable bending and high cycle stability, as demonstrated in his 2022 paper (20 citations). He has also advanced ionic soft actuators by integrating polypyrrole-coated cellulose nanofibers for ultralow voltage operation (13 citations, 2024), and explored untethered soft robots using 1D and 2D nanomaterials (11 citations, 2025). Notably, Wu’s research extends to practical applications like a highly adaptable soft pipeline robot for climbing outside millimeter-sized pipelines (12 citations, 2024) and fishlike robot propulsion inspired by head swing motion (11 citations, 2016). His bioinspired approach, drawing from *Selaginella lepidophylla* for multi-stimulus control (7 citations, 2023), and bimodal photothermal-driven oscillators (6 citations, 2024), underscores his impact in creating autonomous, sustainable soft robotic systems. With over 80 total citations, Wu’s work is shaping the future of intelligent, adaptive robotics.
