About

Miaojiao Peng is a robotics and aerospace engineering researcher specializing in cable-driven and wire-driven parallel robots (CDPRs/WDPRs), with a particular focus on their application in wind tunnel testing environments. Her work bridges advanced robotic systems with aerodynamic experimentation, addressing the critical challenge of precisely controlling and suspending aircraft models during testing across a range of wind tunnel conditions — from low-speed to hypersonic regimes. Peng's most-cited contribution (2016, 12 citations) pioneered the feasibility investigation of scaling cable-driven parallel robot technology for use in hypersonic wind tunnels, expanding the potential of a technology previously limited to low-speed applications. Her subsequent research introduced an eight-wire suspension system for aircraft models in low-speed tunnels (2023, 7 citations), establishing rigorous kinematic modeling frameworks to enable precise motion control. She has also made significant strides in dynamic modeling of flexible cables within CDPRs, tackling the complex problem of cable vibration and its effect on end-effector accuracy (2023, 6 citations). Her 2024 work further refined WDPR design by integrating stiffness and workspace analyses to optimize system stability. Collectively, Peng's research has meaningfully advanced the precision and versatility of robotic suspension systems in aerodynamic testing.
