About
Xiangming Zheng is a pioneering researcher in bio-inspired robotics, specializing in the development of hybrid aerial-terrestrial robots that seamlessly integrate flapping-wing flight with climbing locomotion. His major contributions center on creating miniature robotic systems capable of complex multi-modal movement, drawing direct inspiration from insects like flies and beetles. Zheng’s most notable work, "An Aerial–Wall Robotic Insect That Can Land, Climb, and Take Off from Vertical Surfaces" (2023), has garnered 42 citations and represents a breakthrough in biomimetic robotics—demonstrating the first small-scale robot that can smoothly transition between flying and wall-climbing without sacrificing performance in either regime. This achievement addresses a long-standing challenge in robotics, enabling potential applications in search-and-rescue, infrastructure inspection, and environmental monitoring. His subsequent work, "Flybot: A Dual Active Wheel Hybrid Land-Air Robot With Five-Link Leg Joints" (2024), further advances terrain adaptability and mode transition efficiency. Zheng’s research is characterized by elegant mechanical design and rigorous experimental validation, making him a rising leader in the field of multi-modal locomotion robotics. His work continues to push the boundaries of what small, agile robots can achieve in complex, real-world environments.
