About
Jixue Mo is a robotics researcher whose work centers on bio-inspired locomotion, amphibious robotics, and novel actuation systems. Mo’s most significant contributions lie in the design and analysis of jumping robots capable of overcoming obstacles in complex environments—both on land and in water. Their highly cited 2018 paper on a wheeled hopping robot with a combustion-powered actuator (22 citations) established a foundation for combining jumping and wheeled motion to enhance obstacle-crossing ability. Mo further advanced the field by developing water jet thrusters for amphibious jumping robots, enabling returnable jumps and precise aerial pitch control, as detailed in works from 2018 to 2020. These thrusters allow robots to leap from water surfaces and overcome aquatic obstacles, addressing key challenges in energy utilization and dynamic performance. More recently, Mo has explored tensegrity hopping robots (2024) and deployable robotic grippers with arc-shaped scissor mechanisms, demonstrating versatility in robot design. With a growing citation impact, Mo’s research is notable for its practical engineering solutions and inspiration from natural locomotion, making it highly relevant for students and researchers in mobile robotics and bio-inspired systems.
