About

Xinyang Dong is a rising researcher in bio-inspired robotics and swarm intelligence, with a focus on developing novel locomotion and collective behaviors for underwater and aerial systems. His major contributions include the design of "Salpot," a jet-propulsion swimmer featuring a scissor structure and bilateral apertures, which draws inspiration from marine organisms like squid and jellyfish to enhance maneuverability and efficiency. This work, published in 2024, has already garnered 6 citations, signaling its early impact in the field of soft and bio-mimetic robotics. Additionally, Dong has explored emergent morphogenesis in robot swarms operating in 3D space (2022, 2 citations), contributing to the understanding of how simple local interactions can yield complex global structures—a key challenge in swarm robotics. His research bridges theoretical principles with practical hardware design, offering pathways for more adaptive and resilient robotic systems. As an emerging scholar, Dong’s work is poised to influence future developments in underwater exploration and autonomous swarm coordination, making him a notable figure for students and researchers interested in the intersection of biology, mechanics, and collective intelligence.
