About
Dr. Rong Tan is a pioneering researcher in the field of small-scale soft robotics, with a focus on bioinspired milli- and micro-robots for biomedical applications. Their major contributions include the development of millimeter-scale continuum robots capable of large-angle steering and high-precision manipulation through hybrid actuation (97 citations), as well as nanofiber-based biodegradable millirobots with controllable anchoring and stepwise drug release functions (50 citations). Dr. Tan has also created starfish-inspired milli soft robots with omnidirectional adaptive locomotion (44 citations) and modular milli-scale cellular robots that can reconfigure both morphologies and behaviors simultaneously (42 citations). Notably, their work on functionalized spiral-rolling millirobots enables upstream swimming in blood vessels (23 citations), while their sub-millimeter fiberscopic robot integrates maneuvering, imaging, and biomedical operation capabilities (22 citations). With a total of over 300 citations across their top ten papers, Dr. Tan’s research addresses critical challenges in miniaturization, actuation, and multifunctionality, advancing the potential for catheter-free interventional systems and intelligent biofabrication.
