Excited to share my recent work as a co-first author on a paper published in @ScienceMagazine! Huge thanks to my fantastic materials science coauthors—Hanxiang Wu, Yuan Zhu, and Qibing Pei—for inviting me to contribute to this project from a mechanical engineering perspective.…


Love to have one!😌

Mercury Usecase | Experience How the Wheeled Humanoid Robot Provides A Back Massage The Mercury X1 wheeled humanoid robot has a total of 19 degrees of freedom and is composed of the Mercury B1 and a high-performance mobile base. The whole machine is equipped with dual main…



Check self-deployable, adaptive robots (arxiv.org/abs/2410.02974) based on Contracting-Cord Particle Jamming (doi.org/10.1039/D4MH00…). These robots hold potential for exploration in remote, complex areas. Accepted to ISRR2024. #softrobotics #AdaptiveRobotics #ParticleJamming


Super cool event!

Congratulations to all our 2024 distinguished @UofCalifornia @UCLA Samueli alumni, student and faculty award recipients! Please visit the school website to learn more: samueli.ucla.edu/2024-awards-aw…

The back cover of Issue 16 of @MaterHoriz features @WenzhongYan and group. Inspired by push puppets, they create metamaterials that reversibly self-deploy into programmed structures. Their mechanical properties can be widely tuned post-deployment. 🔗pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Remember playing with push puppet toys🧸? They inspired @UCLA @UofCalifornia @UCLAMechAeroEng @ECE_UCLA engineers Wenzhong Yan & asst. prof. Ankur Mehta to create a tunable, dynamic material that mimics how they work, with findings published in @MaterHoriz samueli.ucla.edu/engineers-make…

Looks exactly the same as my first jumper prototype lol

Tiny Brazilian frogs’ inner ear canals are too small to help them balance well, explaining why they are clumsy jumpers. Learn more in @ScienceAdvances: scim.ag/6ku

Never regret a day in your life; good days give happiness, bad days give experiences, worst days give lessons, and best days give memories.

Check out these cut-and-fold #origami #robots designed at @UCLA to maneuver extreme environments and detect obstacles without embedded semiconductor-based chips. Electrical and computer engineering postdoc Wenzhong Yan, PhD developed the bots at @UCLALEMUR

The bistability of this robot is engineered by bonding one central pre-stretched substrate with two identical Kirigami top and bottom layers. The killer instinct it developed on its own. 👉 ow.ly/sC2G50OqrRS
