About
Jinlong Song is a leading figure in bioinspired robotics and surface engineering, best known for pioneering the design of water-walking robots that mimic the remarkable locomotion of water striders. His most cited work, "Water strider-inspired design of a water walking robot using superhydrophobic Al surface" (2018, 20 citations), introduced a novel approach that replaces complex gear-driven mechanisms with superhydrophobic aluminum surfaces, dramatically simplifying fabrication and reducing assembly precision requirements. This breakthrough not only advanced the field of aquatic microrobots but also demonstrated how surface wettability can be harnessed for functional locomotion. Song’s research bridges fundamental materials science—particularly the creation of superhydrophobic surfaces—with practical robotics, offering scalable solutions for environmental monitoring and water surface exploration. His contributions have inspired further studies on biomimetic robots and surface engineering, with his work cited in leading journals on robotics, materials, and microsystems. By merging nature’s design principles with innovative surface treatments, Song continues to shape the future of lightweight, agile robots capable of operating on water.
