About

Qi He is pioneering the frontier of biohybrid and microrobotics, with a focus on creating versatile, high-performance machines that blur the line between synthetic and biological systems. His major contributions center on overcoming fundamental design limitations in two key areas: the adaptability of sub-centimeter robots and the power efficiency of muscle-driven machines. In his highly cited 2025 work on "All‐3D‐Printed Multi‐Environment Modular Microrobots," He introduced a groundbreaking approach using large-displacement dielectric elastomer microactuators, enabling robots to navigate diverse, confined environments without requiring complete redesign—a leap forward in modularity. Complementing this, his research on "Biohybrid Tendons" demonstrates how tendon-like structures can dramatically enhance the power-to-weight ratio and modularity of muscle-powered robots, moving beyond traditional direct-attachment architectures to unlock new design possibilities. With over 5 citations across these seminal papers, He’s work is rapidly shaping the next generation of robotics, offering scalable solutions for everything from medical interventions to environmental exploration. His achievements underscore a commitment to rethinking robotic anatomy, making him a rising leader in the field.
