About

Jianfeng He is a leading researcher in the field of bioinspired soft robotics and advanced functional materials, with a primary focus on developing next-generation artificial muscles and neuromuscular fibers. His major contributions center on the design and fabrication of high-performance, multifunctional artificial muscle systems that mimic biological tissues. He pioneered the creation of artificial neuromuscular fibers using multilayered coaxial integration, enabling dynamic environmental adaption and actuation path tracing—a breakthrough that emulates the sensory-motor capabilities of a snail tentacle. This work, published in 2022, has already garnered 73 citations, reflecting its significant impact. He has also advanced the field by developing high-temperature-tolerant artificial muscles using poly(p-phenylene benzobisoxazole) composite yarns (46 citations) and artificial muscle fascicles that integrate high-performance actuation with energy-storage functions (37 citations). His research addresses critical challenges in interfacing actuation and sensing components, pushing the boundaries of what soft robotic systems can achieve. Notable achievements include his ability to create thin, adaptive fibers that combine multiple functionalities, offering promising applications in prosthetics, wearable devices, and autonomous robotics.
