About
Biao Lei is a leading researcher in the field of soft robotics, with a primary focus on developing untethered, remotely actuated systems. His major contributions center on the design of soft actuators driven by liquid–vapor phase transitions and photomechanical effects, enabling programmable, high-force, and versatile deformations without the need for onboard power sources. Lei’s work has achieved significant impact, with his most cited paper on untethered soft actuators garnering 64 citations, and his research on reversible bending behaviors of graphene nanocomposite actuators reaching 57 citations. He has pioneered the development of bioinspired robots that can crawl, jump, and hover, including a submersible soft-robotic platform for noise-free underwater operation. Notable achievements include the creation of electroactive bistable actuators for synergic locomotion and photothermally triggered soft robots capable of adaptive local deformations. Lei’s innovations in stretching imprint processes for directional nanopillars and multidomain particle chains further demonstrate his breadth in fabrication and optical applications. His work is foundational for advancing autonomous, adaptive soft robots for exploration, medical devices, and human interaction.
