About
Bangdao Chen is a leading researcher in biomimetic soft robotics and micro/nano actuation systems, with a focus on developing untethered, stimuli-responsive platforms. His major contributions include pioneering photoresponsive and magnetically-driven soft actuators, such as the fish-like soft robot that swims under near-infrared light (226 citations) and self-contained liquid-vapor phase transition actuators achieving 160% stroke and 14.5 N output force (64 citations). He has also advanced fabrication techniques for high-aspect-ratio directional nanopillars and multidomain particle chains, enabling applications in drug screening and optical devices. With over 390 total citations across his top works, Chen’s research bridges material science and robotics, offering programmable, remote-controlled solutions for field exploration and biomedical manipulation. His notable achievements include the first demonstration of a fully untethered soft actuator using liquid-vapor phase transitions, a breakthrough in mobility and force output for soft robotics.
