About

Cunjin Wang is a leading researcher in the field of robotics, with a primary focus on inspection robotics, bio-inspired locomotion, and soft robotic systems. His work addresses critical challenges in industrial safety and robotic mobility, particularly through the development of specialized robots for hazardous environments. Wang’s most impactful contribution is his work on spherical tank inspection robots, which integrates weld line recognition and path planning for autonomous inspection of large pressure vessels—a paper that has garnered 52 citations and demonstrates significant practical value in industrial maintenance. He has also advanced the field of bio-inspired robotics by designing a snake-inspired crawling robot with alterable angle scales, overcoming the limitation of unidirectional movement seen in previous scale-driven robots. Additionally, Wang has pioneered the design of a soft, flat crawling robot with high load capacity, utilizing kirigami-inspired fabrication techniques to achieve simple manufacturing and robust performance. His research on robotic joints with circular electro-hydraulic actuators further showcases his commitment to creating lightweight, compact, and kinematically efficient systems for exoskeleton applications. With a growing citation impact and a portfolio of innovative designs, Wang is recognized for bridging the gap between theoretical robotics and real-world industrial applications.
