About

Chupeng Tang is a researcher at the forefront of soft robotics and micro-manipulation, with a particular focus on bio-inspired locomotion and magnetic actuation systems. Their most-cited work, "Design and Control of a Magnetic Driven Worm-like Micro-robot" (2021), introduces a novel soft robot fabricated using Stereo Lithography Apparatus (SLA) technology, driven by a 3-D Helmholtz coil magnetic system. This paper demonstrates how alternating magnetization directions of embedded NdFeB magnets enable peristaltic motion, mimicking natural worm locomotion at the microscale. Tang's contributions lie in bridging soft materials engineering with precise magnetic control, offering a pathway toward minimally invasive medical devices and micro-scale assembly. With 2 citations, this foundational work has already sparked interest in the emerging field of magnetically actuated soft robots. Tang's research is characterized by a meticulous integration of design, fabrication, and control—a trifecta that positions their work as a stepping stone for future autonomous micro-robots capable of navigating complex environments. For students and researchers, Tang's approach exemplifies how interdisciplinary thinking can turn biological principles into tangible engineering solutions.
