About

Jianglong Guo is a pioneering robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of soft robotics, electroadhesion, and bio-inspired systems. His research has fundamentally advanced our understanding of electrically controllable adhesion mechanisms, establishing him as a leading authority in electroadhesion (EA) technologies for robotic gripping, climbing, and material handling applications. His 2019 comprehensive review of electroadhesion technologies, which has garnered over 150 citations, remains an essential reference in the field. Guo's contributions span both theoretical frameworks and practical implementations. He has developed innovative soft robotic grippers augmented with electroadhesive functionality, sensing capabilities, and shape-adaptive properties, earning widespread recognition with multiple papers exceeding 60 citations. His 2021 work on legless soft robots capable of rapid, steered jumping — cited 117 times — demonstrates his ability to translate biological locomotion principles into transformative robotic designs. Beyond adhesion, Guo has explored magnetically controllable liquid metal marbles and multimodal soft robots driven by dielectric elastomer actuators, reflecting the remarkable breadth of his expertise. With a body of work accumulating over 800 citations across a decade, Guo's research continues to shape the future of intelligent, adaptive robotic systems.
