About
Zhiyi Wen is a rising researcher in advanced piezoelectric actuation, focusing on the development of compact, high-precision motors for robotic systems. Their key research areas include ultrasonic linear motors, integrated stator-rotor actuators, and piezoelectric metamaterials for torsional motion. Wen’s major contributions include the design of a stator-rotor integrated piezoelectric actuator that enables precise joint rotation in robotic arms, addressing the need for lightweight, high-accuracy motion control. This work, published in 2023, has garnered 15 citations, reflecting its relevance to robotics and mechatronics. A subsequent study on an integrated actuator for lightweight robotic arms received 7 citations, further demonstrating the impact of their design innovations. Wen also advanced miniature ultrasonic linear motors using bimorph transducers, achieving efficient millimeter-scale actuation where electromagnetic motors falter—a critical step for industrial miniaturization. Their most recent work explores low temperature co-fired shear-type piezoelectric metamaterial stacks in d36 mode for torsional actuation, pushing the boundaries of material design. With a growing citation record and a focus on practical, scalable solutions, Wen is establishing a reputation for bridging fundamental piezoelectric principles with real-world robotic applications.
