About
Dr. Yuke Ma is a leading figure in bio-inspired robotics, with a focused expertise in the development and control of amphibious spherical robots. Their major contributions center on creating robotic systems that mimic the locomotion of aquatic life, particularly turtles, to navigate complex and challenging environments. Dr. Ma’s foundational work, "Development and control of articulated amphibious spherical robot" (2019, 18 citations), established a core platform for this field. They advanced this with a dynamic path-planning algorithm for a turtle-inspired robot, published in 2022 (16 citations), which uses a general constrained optimization problem (GCOP) model and sequential quadratic programming (SQP) to enable autonomous navigation in unknown underwater spaces using sensor input. Most recently, their 2025 paper (6 citations) tackles the formidable challenge of multi-robot cooperation, proposing a novel control strategy for high-speed, accurate coordination of multiple amphibious spherical robots in turbid water and confined spaces. This work is critical for real-world applications like search-and-rescue and environmental monitoring, showcasing Dr. Ma’s sustained impact on advancing autonomous, multi-degree-of-freedom robotic systems.
