About

Ching-Wei Chang is a rising researcher at the intersection of soft robotics, aerial manipulation, and construction automation. Their work addresses critical challenges in enabling aerial robots—such as drones—to physically interact with their environment, particularly through grasping and landing. Chang’s most-cited paper, “A Modular Pneumatic Soft Gripper Design for Aerial Grasping and Landing” (2024, 8 citations), introduces a novel, modular soft gripper that enhances the dexterity and safety of aerial robots for applications in inspection, search and rescue, and drone delivery. This contribution is pivotal for expanding the operational capabilities of unmanned aerial vehicles in real-world, contact-rich tasks. Additionally, Chang explores the human and organizational dimensions of robotics in “Customer Satisfaction in Construction Robots: A Multi-Stakeholder Perspective” (2024, 2 citations), investigating why promising construction robot prototypes often fail to achieve widespread adoption. By combining technical innovation with a user-centered approach, Chang is helping to bridge the gap between robotic potential and practical deployment. Their work signals a promising trajectory in making robots more adaptable, safe, and accepted across industries.
