About
Liwei Shi is a prominent robotics researcher whose work spans two transformative domains: bio-inspired amphibious and underwater robotics, and medical robotics for minimally invasive vascular intervention. His pioneering contributions to amphibious spherical robots — beginning with the turtle-inspired mother robot (2013, 75 citations) and evolving through successive generations including the hybrid locomotion ASR-III (2018, 72 citations) — have established foundational design principles for robots capable of seamlessly transitioning between terrestrial and aquatic environments. His hydrodynamic analyses and multi-sensor fusion localization systems (82 citations) address critical engineering challenges in GPS-denied underwater settings using cost-effective sensor configurations. Equally significant is Shi's work in surgical robotics. His research on vascular interventional robot systems incorporates CNN-based surgical state perception (88 citations), force feedback mechanisms (80 citations), and surgeon skill-based control strategies, collectively advancing the safety, precision, and teleoperation reliability of minimally invasive procedures. His multilevel operation safety framework (76 citations) reflects a sophisticated understanding of real-world clinical demands. With over 796 combined citations across his top ten works, Shi's research represents a compelling intersection of mechanical design, intelligent perception, and human-robot interaction that continues to shape next-generation autonomous and medical robotic systems.
