About
Zhenhan Chen is a robotics researcher specializing in bio-inspired locomotion systems, with a particular focus on undulatory fin mechanisms and amphibious robot design. Drawing inspiration from aquatic species such as *Gymnarchus niloticus*, Chen has pioneered the development of robots capable of operating across multiple environments — swimming underwater, navigating water surfaces, and crawling on land. His most-cited work, "Hydrodynamic Performance of a Biomimetic Undulating Fin Robot Under Different Water Conditions" (2023, 39 citations), demonstrates his expertise in characterizing how fin-driven robots perform across varying fluid environments, a critical challenge for real-world marine deployment. His 2021 contributions further showcase his range: one paper presents a novel amphibious robot with symmetrically placed undulatory fins enabling both aquatic and terrestrial mobility (15 citations), while another tackles the practical problem of water surface stability under wind, wave, and load disturbances (9 citations). Together, these works reflect Chen's commitment to bridging biomechanical principles with engineering design. His research holds significant implications for underwater exploration, environmental monitoring, and adaptive robotics operating in complex, unpredictable natural environments.
