About
Shuoxin Gu is a robotics researcher whose work centers on underwater and amphibious robotic systems, with a particular focus on spherical robot design, multi-robot collaboration, and minimally invasive surgical robotics. His most recognized contributions trace the iterative development of the Spherical Underwater Robot (SUR) series, most notably the SURIII, for which he engineered a hybrid propulsion system combining vectored water-jet thrusters and propeller thrusters to significantly enhance stability and maneuverability over previous generations. His highly cited 2020 paper on stable spherical underwater robots has garnered 73 citations, while his work on 3D path planning around uncertain moving obstacles demonstrates a commitment to practical deployment in dynamic marine environments. Gu has also advanced multi-robot cooperation, developing acoustic communication frameworks and electric-field-based coordination strategies for groups of turtle-inspired amphibious robots operating in confined, turbid spaces. Notably, his research extends beyond marine robotics into medical devices, with contributions to magnetorheological fluid-based catheter surgery systems featuring collision protection and force feedback. Collectively, his portfolio — accumulating over 360 citations — reflects a researcher bridging precision engineering, autonomous navigation, and human-safe robotic interaction across demanding real-world applications.
