About

Ziyue Xi is pioneering the intersection of biomimetics, triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG), and underwater robotics to revolutionize marine sensing and autonomous swarm operations. His core research focuses on developing self-powered, bio-inspired sensors and intelligent robot collectives for aquatic environments. Xi’s most impactful contribution is the invention of an underwater biomimetic lateral line sensor based on TENG, which replicates fish sensory organs for dynamic pressure monitoring and trajectory perception—a breakthrough cited 29 times. He further advanced durable, self-powered triboelectric sensors for hydraulic pressure monitoring and underwater disturbance detection (8 citations), enhancing the reliability of marine sensory systems. On the systems level, Xi’s comprehensive review on bio-inspired swarms of underwater robots (10 citations) synthesizes cross-disciplinary progress in biomimetics, robotics, and sensing, charting a path for coordinated underwater missions. His work directly addresses the challenge of powering and networking autonomous underwater vehicles in harsh, remote environments. By merging nature’s design principles with cutting-edge energy harvesting, Ziyue Xi is laying the foundation for next-generation, persistent ocean exploration and monitoring platforms.
