About

Jiangtao Cheng is a pioneering researcher at the forefront of contactless robotic manipulation, with a focus on acoustic vortex tweezers and their integration with robotic systems. His work bridges robotics, physics, and biomedical engineering to enable precise, noninvasive control of small objects. Cheng’s major contributions include the development of robot-assisted chirality-tunable acoustic vortex tweezers, which achieve contactless, multifunctional, 4-degree-of-freedom (4-DOF) object manipulation—a significant leap over existing platforms that struggle with high-resolution, noninvasive maneuvering. His 2024 paper on this topic has already garnered 27 citations, reflecting its rapid impact. Additionally, his research on airborne acoustic vortex end effectors enables multi-mode, programmable control of object surfing, including trapping, repelling, and spinning. This work, featured as a cover article in *Advanced Materials Technologies*, demonstrates the potential for applications in engineering, biology, and chemistry. Cheng’s innovations are shaping the future of contactless manipulation, offering new possibilities for lab-on-a-chip devices, cellular surgery, and microassembly. His achievements highlight a commitment to advancing robotic dexterity and acoustic manipulation, making him a key figure in the field.
