About

Dingxin Leng is a leading researcher in biomimetic robotics, with a primary focus on underwater propulsion systems inspired by marine life. Their work centers on developing efficient, bio-inspired alternatives to traditional propeller-based underwater vehicles, which often suffer from poor maneuverability and energy inefficiency in complex marine environments. Leng’s most influential contribution is a comprehensive review on underwater undulating propulsion biomimetic robots (2023, 73 citations), which systematically analyzes the design, stability, and maneuverability advantages of these robots over conventional systems. This work has become a key reference for researchers seeking to improve robotic performance in harsh underwater conditions. Additionally, Leng’s earlier study on biomimetic caudal fin propulsion using computational fluid dynamics (2020, 17 citations) provides a detailed mechanical analysis of fish-like propulsion, highlighting its low energy consumption and high efficiency. This research has informed the development of more agile and sustainable underwater robots. Through these contributions, Dingxin Leng has established a strong foundation for advancing biomimetic propulsion technology, offering practical insights that bridge biological inspiration and engineering innovation.
