About
Aiguo Ming is a prominent robotics researcher whose work spans tactile sensing, robotic manipulation, legged locomotion, and bioinspired systems. He is perhaps best known for his pioneering contributions to slip detection and grasping force control in multi-fingered robot hands, developing highly sensitive tactile sensors utilizing pressure-sensitive conductive rubber that enable robots to grip objects with human-like dexterity — without prior knowledge of object weight or friction coefficients. His foundational 2008 paper on slip-based grasping force control has garnered 90 citations, while subsequent work refining sensor sensitivity and integrating proximity, contact, and slip sensing collectively demonstrates his sustained leadership in this domain. Beyond manipulation, Ming has made notable contributions to legged robotics, including bioinspired bipedal walking controllers that incorporate toe-off, heel-strike, and disturbance rejection, as well as perception-less terrain adaptation in quadruped robots. His 2022 quadruped locomotion paper has already attracted 64 citations, reflecting the growing relevance of his work in dynamic robot mobility. He has also explored underwater robotics using piezoelectric fiber composites, showcasing remarkable breadth. With over 560 cumulative citations across his top works, Ming's research has meaningfully advanced the field of intelligent, adaptive robotic systems.
