About

Wang Zhong is a pioneering researcher in the fields of soft robotics and mobile robotic systems, with a particular focus on dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) and advanced locomotion mechanisms. His major contributions include a comprehensive review on high-frequency DEAs, which has garnered 106 citations since 2023, highlighting their potential for applications requiring large strain, high energy density, and fast response. Zhong has also significantly advanced the design of wheelchair robots with Variable Geometry Single Tracked Mechanisms (VGSTM), introducing a stability criterion for stair-climbing that enhances obstacle negotiation capabilities. His work on energy conversion efficiency in dielectric elastomer generators, cited 13 times in 2024, demonstrates innovative approaches to elastic energy storage and recovery. Additionally, Zhong has developed dynamic models for ground mobile robots, including the wheel-leg-track compound Jaguar robot, and designed mechanical structures for cable crawling robots using dual-crank-slider mechanisms. His research, spanning from foundational theories to practical applications, has earned over 148 citations, establishing him as a key figure in advancing robotic mobility and soft actuator technologies.
