About

Peng Jiang is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of bio-inspired robotics, smart materials, and human-robot interaction. His most celebrated work, the “Centimeter-Scale Underwater Robot With High-Speed Inspired by Jellyfish” (2023, 16 citations), tackles the formidable challenge of miniaturizing aquatic robots for applications in environmental monitoring, resource exploration, and military reconnaissance. By mimicking the efficient propulsion of jellyfish, Jiang achieved a breakthrough in high-speed, small-scale locomotion. He further advances the field of adaptive structures with his work on “Programmable Design and Fabrication of 3D Variable–Stiffness Structure Based on Patterned Graphene‐Heating Network” (2023, 3 citations), enabling precise local stiffness control for shape-programmable robots. Demonstrating a holistic view of robotics, Jiang also explores the psychological dimensions of automation in his 2025 study on “The effects of robot anthropomorphic characteristics on employees’ anti-robot sabotage” (1 citation), revealing how human-like robot features can inadvertently trigger counterproductive behaviors in the workplace. Through this diverse portfolio—spanning from centimeter-scale swimmers to variable-stiffness metamaterials and organizational psychology—Jiang is shaping the future of intelligent, adaptable, and socially-aware robotic systems.
