YuFeng Chen

YuFeng Chen is Associate Professor in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT, with joint affiliation in AI+D. Research focuses on insect-scale aerial robotics, soft actuators, and hybrid locomotion systems. Designs novel micro-robots using dielectric elastomer actuators and triboelectric nanogenerators.

Recent work advances energy-efficient aerial manipulation, collision-resilient designs, and swarm coordination. Publications demonstrate innovations in lightweight power systems, soft robotic control strategies, and bio-inspired flight mechanisms for micro-aerial vehicles.
