About
Haihang Wang is a leading researcher in soft robotics, with a focus on biomimetic design and underwater applications. His work centers on developing compliant, human-inspired robotic hands and continuum manipulators that achieve remarkable dexterity and safety. Wang’s major contributions include the creation of a novel soft robotic hand with a human-inspired soft palm, enabling a great diversity of grasps (69 citations), and a bidirectional soft biomimetic hand driven by water hydraulics for dexterous underwater grasping (43 citations). He has also advanced the field through modeling of an underwater continuum manipulator capable of swallowing and disgorging motions (15 citations), and pioneered deep learning-based 3D pose reconstruction for analyzing soft robotic hand motion (7 citations). Wang’s innovations are notable for replacing rigid mechanisms with compliant, low-cost, and easy-to-control systems, significantly enhancing human-robot and environment-robot interactions. His work is particularly impactful for underwater robotics, where his water hydraulic-driven designs offer robust, compliant grasping solutions. With over 130 total citations, Wang’s research is shaping the future of soft robotics, making him a key figure for students and researchers interested in biomimetic design, underwater manipulation, and intelligent robotic systems.
