About
De Xu Geng is a pioneering researcher in the field of soft robotics, specializing in the design and control of pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM) systems. His work centers on developing flexible bending joints that enable compliant, bionic motion in robotic structures. Geng’s major contributions include the invention of bidirectional controllable flexible joints that can axially elongate and bend in two-dimensional space, as well as one-dimensional two-way joints that enhance the safety and versatility of service robots. He also led the structural design of a five-fingered robot hand, each finger incorporating three flexible PAM-based joints for high dexterity and inherent compliance. His most-cited papers, each with 2 citations, consistently advance the understanding of joint dynamics and kinematics, including the use of equivalent mass methods to model PAM behavior. Geng’s work is foundational for researchers exploring soft grippers, wearable assistive devices, and human-safe robotic arms. His achievements demonstrate a sustained commitment to solving the challenges of comprehensive robot flexibility, making him a notable figure in the evolution of bio-inspired, pneumatically actuated robotic systems.
