About

Qiuxu Meng is a rising researcher in the field of bio-inspired robotics, with a focus on soft robotics and tensegrity structures. Their work centers on developing compliant, fish-like robots that leverage natural modes of vibration to achieve efficient undulatory propulsion—a key challenge in biomimetic underwater vehicles. Meng’s most-cited paper, “A dynamic model of tensegrity robotic fish considering soft fish skin and tail” (2024, 16 citations), establishes a foundational framework for modeling how soft materials and tensegrity mechanisms interact to generate realistic body waves. This builds on their earlier work in “Complex Modal Characteristic Analysis of a Tensegrity Robotic Fish’s Body Waves” (2023, 5 citations), which explored how compliant structures can excite natural vibration modes to mimic real fish locomotion. Beyond underwater robotics, Meng has contributed to soft manipulation with “Experimental Study on Double-Joint Soft Actuator and Its Dexterous Hand” (2023, 2 citations), proposing a pneumatic, fiber-wound actuator that enables an 11-degree-of-freedom dexterous hand. While still early in their career, Meng’s integration of tensegrity and soft robotics offers promising pathways toward more lifelike, energy-efficient robotic systems.
