About
Jia-Yang Juang is a leading researcher in soft robotics, specializing in the design and fabrication of highly deformable robots for pipe inspection, crawling, and manipulation. His major contributions center on developing single-actuator and multistable buckling mechanisms that enable soft robots to navigate confined spaces with unprecedented simplicity and efficiency. Notably, his 2022 paper on a single-actuator soft robot for in-pipe crawling has garnered 72 citations, while his 2020 work on a hopping and crawling robot for in-pipe travel has earned 53 citations, underscoring the field’s strong interest in his minimalist actuation strategies. Juang has also advanced the manufacturing frontier through multi-material additive manufacturing, as highlighted in his 2025 comprehensive review, and has enhanced the versatility of soft robotic grippers and hands using 3D-printed multifunctional buckling joints. His 2025 review of dexterous robotic hands further demonstrates his broad impact on both hardware and control design. Through these innovations, Juang is shaping the future of soft robotics, making robots more adaptable, safer, and easier to fabricate for real-world applications.
