About

Jiaqing Tang is a researcher at the forefront of soft robotics, with a focused expertise in pneumatic actuation and rehabilitation devices. His work bridges the critical gap between advanced robotic design and practical assistive technology, particularly for individuals with physical disabilities. Tang’s most impactful contribution is his 2015 paper on modeling and designing a soft pneumatic finger for hand rehabilitation (38 citations), which addresses the complex challenge of restoring hand dexterity—the most intricate and multifunctional part of the human body. This research provides a foundational framework for creating compliant, safe, and effective rehabilitation tools, directly responding to the vast demand for assistive devices in China. Additionally, his 2014 study on a pneumatic rubber actuator for a soft robotic fish (7 citations) demonstrates his versatility in applying soft actuation principles to bio-inspired locomotion. Tang’s work is notable for its practical orientation, combining rigorous modeling with real-world application, and his citation record reflects growing recognition in the soft robotics community. For students and researchers, Tang exemplifies how targeted engineering can transform lives through accessible, innovative rehabilitation solutions.
