About

Xu Hang is a pioneering researcher in the field of micro-robotics, with a specific focus on magnetically controlled soft crawling robots. His key research areas include magnetic elastomer composites, wireless actuation, and bio-inspired locomotion for miniature robotic systems. His most notable contribution is the design and development of a magnetically controlled micro-soft crawling robot, which achieves untethered locomotion through a three-dimensional Helmholtz coil system that generates a variable magnetic field. By coupling magnetic torque with the robot's gravity, friction, and elastic deformation, Xu Hang's robot can perform continuous posture transformations and crawl in any direction within the xy-plane. His work, published in 2020 and cited 10 times, provides a comprehensive analysis of the robot's motion characteristics, including bending deformation, friction, step length, and steering, using both Abaqus finite element simulations and experimental validation. Xu Hang's research has significant implications for biomedical applications, such as targeted drug delivery and minimally invasive surgery, where wireless, controllable micro-robots are essential. His achievements demonstrate a deep understanding of multi-physics coupling and control systems, positioning him as a key innovator in the advancement of soft robotics.
