Research on piezoelectric microrobotics combines actuator characterization, small-force measurement and neural-probe insertion experiments to examine microscale motion and tissue interaction.

Related studies address gait-event detection in exoskeleton-assisted walking and multi-site observations of large-scale eddies in the atmospheric surface layer of the Loess Plateau.

Further research interests include gait-informed biomimetic control of bipedal robots and exoskeletons, and autonomous control of aerial and ground vehicles using neural networks, computer vision and other sensing methods.
