About

Jianxing Leng is a leading researcher in the field of bio-inspired robotics and marine automation, with a particular focus on developing specialized robots for challenging industrial and aquatic environments. His most impactful work includes the design and performance analysis of a tracked wall-climbing robot for ship inspection, a highly cited paper (133 citations) that has significantly advanced automated maintenance in shipbuilding. Leng has also made notable contributions to underwater robotics, including the development of a propeller cleaning manipulator with sophisticated trajectory planning and control systems. His research extends to biomimicry, where he has explored the mechanical design and locomotion of robots inspired by the water strider, an insect capable of moving on water surfaces using surface tension. This work demonstrates his ability to translate biological principles into functional robotic systems. With a career marked by innovative mechanical design and practical applications, Leng’s research continues to influence the fields of industrial robotics, underwater automation, and bio-inspired engineering, offering valuable insights for students and researchers interested in the intersection of biology and robotics.
