About

Dr. Qiaosong Fan is pioneering the next generation of bioinspired soft robotics, with a focus on intelligent sensing and high-performance actuation. His research lies at the intersection of materials science and robotics, where he develops artificial muscles that mimic the remarkable capabilities of biological systems. His most notable contribution is the creation of a "Bionic Muscle with Dual-Mode Sensing Function," directly inspired by the sensory and actuation properties of plant tendrils. This work, already garnering 8 citations since its 2025 publication, addresses the significant challenge of integrating multimodal sensing with powerful actuation in a single, soft system. Further advancing the field, Dr. Fan introduced the "Self-induced large pitch (SLiP) method" for producing twisted and coiled polymer artificial muscles. This innovative technique simplifies fabrication while achieving giant contractile strokes and stable performance, offering a transformative approach for soft robotic applications. By merging elegant biological principles with practical engineering solutions, Dr. Fan is laying the groundwork for more adaptive, resilient, and intelligent soft robots.
