About
Xiangming He is a leading figure in soft robotics, specializing in variable-stiffness mechanisms that bridge the gap between flexibility and structural rigidity. His major contributions center on developing novel actuation and stiffening methods, most notably through the innovative coupling of particle jamming and layer jamming techniques. In his highly cited 2024 work, He introduced a variable-stiffness soft grabbing robot that leverages this dual-jamming approach, enabling unprecedented control over compliance and load-bearing capacity. This design allows soft grippers to transition seamlessly from delicate, adaptive grasping to firm, high-force holding—a critical advancement for industrial manipulation and medical devices. With over 6 citations already, his research is gaining rapid traction for its practical, scalable solutions to the long-standing challenge of stiffness modulation in soft systems. He’s work not only advances fundamental actuator design but also provides a clear pathway for deploying soft robots in real-world tasks requiring both dexterity and strength.
