Parametric geometric model and shape optimization of an underwater glider with blended-wing-body
International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2015 Underwater glider, as a new kind of autonomous underwater vehicles, has many merits such as long-range, extended-duration and low costs. The shape of underwater glider is an important factor in determining the hydrodynamic efficiency.

Ecosystem-Centered Robot Design: Toward Ecoresorbable Sustainability Robots (ESRs). [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Robots exploring natural ecosystems can support monitoring and conservation, but must adopt ecosystem‐centered design to avoid pollution, waste, and damage. This review proposes guidelines for co‐designing ecoresorbable sustainability robots (ESRs), uniting materials, robotics, and ecological contexts in a single framework.

Miniature Underwater Glider Hydrodynamic Performance
OCEANS 2022, Hampton Roads, 2022 <p>Defining the hydrodynamic properties of an underwater glider is a critical operation that should be properly optimized since it has a great impact on the vehicle’s efficiency. It also defines the allocated budget for the Variable Buoyancy System (VBS) of the glider.
