About
Jing Tan is a pioneering researcher in soft robotics and bioinspired actuation, with a focus on developing compact, silent, and high-performance fluidic systems for wearable technologies. Their most notable contribution is the invention of a self-recovering wire electrode electrohydrodynamic (EHD) pump, designed to drive McKibben artificial muscles—a key actuator in soft robotics. This breakthrough addresses a critical bottleneck: traditional pneumatic pumps are bulky and noisy, limiting the deployment of soft robots in human-interactive settings. Tan’s EHD pump is compact, silent, and capable of high-speed actuation, enabling more practical and wearable robotic systems. The work, published in 2025, has already garnered 3 citations, signaling early impact in a rapidly evolving field. By eliminating the need for external compressors, Tan’s innovation paves the way for untethered, compliant robots that can safely assist humans in rehabilitation, prosthetics, and daily tasks. Their research sits at the intersection of fluid dynamics, materials science, and control engineering, offering a transformative approach to making soft robotics truly portable and user-friendly.
