About
Mengqi Yang is a rising innovator in bio-inspired robotics, specializing in the design and analysis of flapping-wing micro air vehicles (MAVs) and soft underwater robots. Her work bridges the gap between biological locomotion and engineered systems, with a focus on tailless, independently driven wing configurations that enhance maneuverability and stability in miniature aerial platforms. In her most cited paper (2024, 5 citations), Yang introduced a novel X-type flapping-wing MAV with two pairs of independently actuated wings, addressing key challenges in aerodynamic efficiency and control for small-scale flight. More recently, she has explored soft robotics through an SMA-driven bionic jellyfish robot (2025, 1 citation), analyzing eddy current effects at the tips of artificial tentacles to improve swimming performance. Though early in her career, Yang’s work demonstrates a clear trajectory toward practical, high-performance bio-hybrid systems. Her contributions are particularly relevant for students and researchers interested in micro-robotics, unsteady aerodynamics, and biomimetic propulsion, offering foundational insights into the mechanics of flapping flight and soft underwater locomotion.
