About
Chong Hong is a pioneering roboticist whose research focuses on the design and control of millimeter-scale robots and bio-inspired locomotion systems. His most significant contribution is the development of a magnetically actuated gearbox, just 3 millimeters in size, that wirelessly controls miniature robots—a breakthrough that overcomes the limited torque outputs of conventional magnetic actuators (78 citations). Hong also created a soft-robotic ciliated epidermis for reconfigurable fluid manipulation on 3D surfaces, enabling unprecedented control of near-surface flows (49 citations). His work on a wireless flow-powered robot capable of traversing tubular structures (30 citations) holds promise for inspection and medical applications. Additionally, Hong has advanced small-scale jumping robots through a combined series-elastic actuator and parallel-elastic leg design (52 citations), as well as control strategies for two-degree-of-freedom inertial appendages to enhance terrestrial and aerial maneuverability (10 citations). His recent energy-recoverable landing strategy further improves the efficiency of these robots. With over 220 citations across his key papers, Hong’s innovations in wireless actuation, fluid manipulation, and bio-inspired locomotion are shaping the future of miniature robotics for industrial, medical, and exploratory uses.
