About
Mingfei Guo is a rising leader in soft robotics and bioinspired engineering, whose work bridges the gap between biological systems and next-generation robotic platforms. His primary research areas include biomimetic underwater robots, soft actuators and sensors, and humanoid robotics for human-robot interaction. Guo’s most impactful contribution is a comprehensive review on fish-inspired robots (2022, 63 citations), which has become a foundational reference for researchers developing agile, bioinspired aquatic vehicles. He has also pioneered the use of plasticized PVC gel in soft robotics, introducing fiber-constrained PVC gel actuators (2023, 23 citations) and modular multilayered designs for lightweight humanoid facial robots (2024, 15 citations). His work on high-performance PVC gel sensors for smart wearables (2024, 8 citations) and flexible electrodes for durable actuators and wearable sensors (2025) further demonstrates his versatility in creating responsive, stable materials for real-world applications. By advancing both the theoretical modeling and practical implementation of PVC gel actuators, Guo is enabling a new class of soft, safe, and highly functional robots. His research is shaping the future of soft robotics, from underwater exploration to empathetic human-robot interfaces.
