Job

Self and Research introduction
I am conducting interdisciplinary research on soft robotics, combining materials science, mechanical design, and intelligent control. My recent focus is on pneumatic and vibration-driven soft actuators and serpentine robots capable of navigating granular media such as sand and soil. Through experiments and dynamic modeling, I investigate how morphological computation and bioinspired oscillation mechanisms can enhance locomotion efficiency and adaptability. My long-term goal is to develop autonomous soft robots that integrate CPG-based gait control, LiDAR/CNN-based navigation, and self-oscillating actuators for exploration and inspection in unstructured environments.
