About

Yangbin Zeng is an emerging robotics and biomechanics researcher whose work centers on bio-inspired locomotion systems, particularly undulating fin robotics and their hydrodynamic and dynamic performance. Drawing inspiration from aquatic species such as *Gymnarchus niloticus*, Zeng has made significant contributions to the design, modeling, and analysis of amphibious robots capable of operating across underwater, terrestrial, and marshy environments. His most impactful work, garnering 39 citations, investigates how biomimetic undulating fin robots perform under varying water conditions, establishing foundational insights into their real-world adaptability. Complementing this, his 2021 kinetic analysis introduced a novel dual-fin amphibious robot prototype that achieves both underwater swimming and ground crawling — a notable engineering achievement with 15 citations. More recently, Zeng has pushed the field forward by tackling complex challenges including flexible deformation, fluid-fin interactions, frictional contact dynamics, and unsteady coupling effects in parallel fin systems. With a growing body of work accumulating nearly 100 total citations in just a few years, Zeng's research is shaping the next generation of versatile, biologically inspired robots suited for complex, multi-terrain environments — making his profile essential reading for robotics engineers and biomechanics researchers alike.
