About

Chengliang Dong is a leading researcher in the field of underwater bionic robotics, with a primary focus on multi-fin propulsion systems and functional materials for robotic fish. His work addresses a critical challenge in biomimetic engineering: achieving both low-speed maneuverability and high-speed stability in autonomous underwater vehicles. Dong’s most-cited paper, "Review of multi-fin propulsion and functional materials of underwater bionic robotic fish" (2022, 23 citations), provides a comprehensive analysis of how combining pectoral, caudal, and other fin mechanisms—alongside flexible body designs—can overcome the limitations of single-fin propulsion. This review has become a foundational reference for researchers seeking to optimize robotic fish for applications in environmental monitoring, underwater exploration, and defense. By synthesizing advances in smart materials and bio-inspired control, Dong’s contributions are shaping the next generation of agile, efficient underwater robots. His work stands out for its practical insights into balancing speed and maneuverability, making him a key figure in advancing bionic propulsion technology.
