About
Fusheng Yu is a leading researcher in bio-inspired robotics and underwater propulsion, with a primary focus on the dynamic analysis of flexible fin systems for median and paired fin (MPF) propulsion. His most-cited work, "Dynamic analysis of the sinusoidal actuation of a flexible fin for paired fin propulsion" (2022, 6 citations), introduces a novel approach to understanding how sinusoidal actuation patterns can optimize the performance of flexible fins in robotic fish. Yu's major contribution lies in bridging computational simulation and physical prototyping: he built a custom underwater robot prototype and employed computer-aided engineering (CAE) methods to model the transmission system of the flexible fin ray. This work provides critical insights into the fluid-structure interactions that govern efficient swimming in biomimetic vehicles. By systematically analyzing fin ray dynamics, Yu has advanced the design of more agile and energy-efficient underwater robots, with potential applications in marine exploration, environmental monitoring, and defense. His research is particularly notable for its integration of theoretical modeling with hands-on experimental validation, offering a practical pathway for engineers seeking to replicate the maneuverability of aquatic organisms. Yu's contributions continue to inspire innovations in soft robotics and autonomous underwater vehicles.
