About

Qu He is an innovative robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of bio-inspired engineering, soft robotics, and underwater autonomous systems. He has made significant contributions to the design, modeling, and control of biomimetic underwater robots, with a particular focus on fish-inspired and ray-inspired locomotion systems. His 2022 survey on bio-inspired fish robots (87 citations) has become an essential reference in the field, synthesizing theoretical and practical progress across efficiency, maneuverability, and noise reduction compared to conventional underwater vehicles. He further demonstrated his design expertise through the development of a soft material-based manta ray robot (57 citations), pushing the boundaries of what is achievable in deep-water biomimetic systems using flexible structures. His work on multimaterial embedded 3D printing of composite reinforced soft actuators (36 citations) reflects a broader commitment to advancing fabrication methods that streamline the production of sophisticated soft pneumatic systems. His most recent research on pectoral fin-assisted braking and agile turning highlights his continued drive to enhance underwater robot maneuverability through biological principles. Collectively, He's publications represent a growing and impactful body of work reshaping the future of intelligent underwater robotics.
