About

Jiaqi Ma is an innovative researcher specializing in soft robotics, smart materials, and human-computer interaction, with a particular focus on dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) and electro-hydraulic systems. Their most celebrated contribution, "A Jumping Robot Driven by a Dielectric Elastomer Actuator" (2020, 33 citations), demonstrates remarkable engineering ingenuity — stacking 20 layers of DE films to achieve a peak output force of 30 N, enabling lifelike robotic jumping motion that pushes the boundaries of soft actuator performance. Complementing this work, Ma has pioneered entirely soft varifocal lens technology driven by electro-hydraulic actuation, addressing longstanding limitations of rigid optical systems in soft robotic applications (10 citations). Their research further extends into wearable technology, with a novel haptic feedback actuator designed to deliver direct tactile sensation for applications in space robot teleoperation and augmented reality (9 citations). Across these contributions, Ma consistently bridges materials science, mechanical engineering, and human-centered design, establishing a cohesive research vision centered on making robotic and interactive systems more flexible, adaptive, and intimately integrated with human experience. Their work collectively represents a significant step forward in next-generation soft robotics.
