About
Zhiduo Tan is a rising researcher in the field of bio-inspired robotics and offshore geotechnical engineering, with a focus on the interaction between underwater robots and seabed sediments. His work centers on understanding how robotic systems can autonomously and efficiently burrow into or interact with soft seafloor environments, drawing inspiration from marine organisms. Tan’s major contributions include pioneering numerical investigations into the self-burial performance of stingray-inspired robots, where he systematically analyzed how varying flapping amplitudes and counts affect burial efficiency. He has also advanced the understanding of long-term sinkage behavior in underwater landing robots, providing critical insights into the stability and operational longevity of seabed-deployed systems. Although early in his career, his papers have already garnered attention, with each of his most-cited works accumulating 3 citations—a promising start for a young scholar. Tan’s research is particularly notable for its practical implications in offshore infrastructure, underwater exploration, and environmental monitoring, where robust and adaptive robotic anchoring is essential. His work bridges biomechanics and geotechnical engineering, offering novel solutions for autonomous seabed interaction.
