About
Joseph Zhi Wei Lee is a pioneering researcher in soft robotics, whose work addresses one of the field’s most persistent challenges: creating untethered, autonomous systems capable of complex, biomimetic locomotion. His landmark 2024 paper, “Crawling, climbing, perching, and flying by FiBa soft robots,” has already garnered 52 citations, introducing a novel fabrication approach that enables lightweight robots to crawl, climb, perch, and fly without external electrical or pneumatic power. This breakthrough demonstrates how soft robots can achieve diverse, animal-like movements while remaining fully self-contained, a critical step toward practical applications in exploration, search-and-rescue, and environmental monitoring. Lee’s contributions are reshaping the possibilities for soft robotics, moving the field from tethered laboratory curiosities toward real-world, untethered systems. His work is widely recognized for its ingenuity and impact, positioning him as a leading voice in the next generation of robotic design.
