About
Shiling Fu is a rising innovator in soft robotics, specializing in untethered actuation, wearable systems, and tactile sensing. Their major contributions center on overcoming the energy and control limitations of soft robots through novel pneumatic-tendon-coupled actuators (PTCAs), which combine compliance with variable stiffness for untethered operation. Their 2024 paper on discrete PTCAs for untethered soft robots has garnered 12 citations, while their work on a soft rolling robot using the same actuation principle has earned 11 citations, demonstrating significant early impact. Fu also advanced portable soft wearable robots with a 3D-printed passive bellow actuator (7 citations), addressing the portability-controllability trade-off in fluid-driven systems. In sensing, they developed a compact, cost-effective optical blocking structure tactile sensor (3 citations) and a soft triaxial optical force sensor (1 citation) for robotic grasping and human-machine interaction. Notably, their amphibious robotic dog design integrates paddling gait planning for multi-terrain mobility. Fu’s work consistently pushes toward practical, deployable soft robots, blending mechanical ingenuity with real-world applicability.
