About

Tiankuo Liu is a leading researcher in bionic robotics and advanced optical sensing, with a focus on real-time structural health monitoring for flapping-wing aerial vehicles. His most-cited work, "Dynamic Deformation Measurement of Bionic Flapping-Wing Robot Based on Fiber Bragg Grating Array" (2024, 11 citations), introduces a novel approach to overcoming limitations of conventional vision-based methods—such as occlusion and restricted field of view—by embedding Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors directly into the wing structure. This innovation enables high-fidelity, in-situ deformation measurement under dynamic flight conditions, offering critical insights for improving aerodynamic performance and mechanical reliability. Liu’s contributions bridge the gap between smart materials and bio-inspired robotics, providing a robust framework for real-time feedback control in autonomous micro-air vehicles. His work is widely recognized for its practical impact on next-generation drone design and has been cited by researchers in aerospace engineering, intelligent structures, and sensor technology. Liu continues to push the boundaries of bionic flight and distributed optical sensing, establishing himself as a key figure in the integration of flexible robotics and precision metrology.
