About
Dr. Haomin Xiang is a pioneering roboticist whose research lies at the intersection of bio-inspired design, soft robotics, and underwater exploration. His most notable contribution is the development of CRAB-EDM, a multi-modal underwater robot inspired by crab locomotion, which introduced a novel temporally sequenced electro-discharge modulation strategy. This breakthrough directly addresses the critical challenge of residual charge accumulation in dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs)—a persistent bottleneck limiting actuation efficiency in soft robotic systems. By engineering a discharge mechanism that dynamically balances energy release, Dr. Xiang’s work has significantly enhanced the performance and reliability of DEA-based robots for aquatic environments. His 2026 paper on CRAB-EDM has already garnered 4 citations, signaling growing recognition in the field. Beyond this flagship work, Dr. Xiang’s research portfolio spans the broader domains of smart materials, actuator control, and autonomous underwater systems. His innovative approach—merging biological principles with advanced electro-mechanical design—positions him as a rising leader in soft robotics, with potential applications ranging from marine biology monitoring to underwater infrastructure inspection.
