About
Changlong Bi is a pioneering researcher in the field of biomimetic robotics, with a focused expertise in bio-inspired adhesion and locomotion. His work centers on understanding and replicating the extraordinary attachment mechanisms found in nature, particularly the net-winged midge larva (*Blephariceridae* and *Liponeura*). Bi’s major contributions include the design and development of a biomimetic adhesive disc that emulates the larva’s powerful ventral suckers, enabling robust adhesion and sliding on slippery, wet surfaces. He further advanced this concept by creating a biomimetic robot capable of crawling upstream, a feat inspired by the larva’s ability to navigate fast-flowing alpine streams. This robot utilizes adhesive suckers enhanced by rigid spine-like microtrichia within the sucker cavity, which are critical for generating strong attachment. While his most-cited works, published in 2024, have garnered 8 and 2 citations respectively, their impact lies in their innovative approach to solving a long-standing challenge in robotics: reliable adhesion on wet, irregular surfaces. Bi’s research not only deepens our understanding of biological adhesion but also paves the way for applications in underwater inspection, rescue robotics, and environmental monitoring.
