Dr. Yu's research interests include biomimetic robots, intelligent control, and intelligent mechatronic systems. In these areas, he (co-)authored 2 monographs, and published over 80 SCI papers in the prestigious robotics and automation related journals, among which 40 papers are published in IEEE Transactions journals (including 18 first-author papers). He was successively listed among Most Cited Researchers in China in 2014, 2015, and 2016. In addition, he has authorized 22 invention patents and 13 software copyright registrations. Some of the achievements have been applied to water quality monitoring and underwater robot competition, while some have been transferred and industrialized. He received the Humboldt Research Fellowship for Experienced Researchers from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in 2009, the First Prize of Beijing Science and Technology Award (in second place) in 2013, the Second Prize of National Natural Science Award (in third place) in 2017, as well as 9 BestPaper Awards like IEEE ROBIO Best Paper Award in Biomimetics. Currently he serves as Associate Editors of several top international journals involving IEEE Transactions on Robotics and IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics.
