About

Zilong Peng is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of additive manufacturing and smart materials, with a primary focus on 3D printing of magnetic soft robotics and functional permanent magnets. His work addresses critical challenges in fabricating bio-inspired micro soft robots that can adapt to complex environments, where he has developed innovative approaches using programming magnetic elastic composites. Peng’s research demonstrates how 3D printing can overcome traditional manufacturing limitations, particularly through his development of room temperature fast-curing NdFeB slurries for direct ink writing of special-shaped permanent magnets. This breakthrough enables the creation of customized magnetic field distributions for equipment with space constraints, achieving significant advances in material utilization and design freedom. His most cited work on 3D printing bio-inspired micro soft robots (2024, 15 citations) showcases his ability to merge bionic principles with advanced manufacturing, while his recent contribution to permanent magnet fabrication (2025, 2 citations) highlights his ongoing impact in the field. Peng’s research is particularly notable for its practical applications in soft robotics and electromagnetic systems, positioning him as an emerging leader in 4D printing and functional material fabrication.
