About
Zhuoyi He is a pioneering researcher in smart materials and soft robotics, with a focus on magnetorheological elastomers (MREs), magnetorheological fluids (MRFs), and permanent magnet elastomers (PMEs). His major contributions include the development of an electropermanent magnet–MRE hybrid system for soft actuation and robotic grasping, which eliminates the need for external pressure sources—addressing key limitations in conventional soft grippers. He also designed a vacuum suction cup using MREs for wall-climbing robots and flat-surface picking, and created a PME-infused soft robot skin for tactile sensing, inspired by human skin. His work on anti-sedimentation MRFs improved MR damper performance, while his backdrivable vane-type rotary actuator and MRF-based power transmission systems enhance safety and responsiveness in heavy-duty robotics. With over 80 citations across his most-cited papers, He’s innovations are advancing intrinsically safe, high-output robotic systems for human-collaborative and industrial applications. Notably, his reconfigurable soft pump module, inspired by the calf muscle pump, promises to reduce bulkiness in fluidic-driven soft robots, marking a significant step toward fully soft, independent robotic systems.
