About

Xudong Feng is a researcher at the forefront of computational design and robotics, with a particular focus on integrating soft materials into mechanical systems. His most notable contribution is the development of a computational design system for skinned quad-robots, which addresses the complex challenge of predicting the physical behavior of robots that combine rigid skeletons with elastic skins. By fully integrating multibody dynamics with soft material behavior, Feng’s work enables users to model, optimize, and fabricate robots that are both functional and physically realistic. This research, published in 2019, has garnered 3 citations and represents a significant step toward making soft-robot design accessible to non-experts. Feng’s approach bridges the gap between simulation and fabrication, offering a practical tool for creating robots that move more naturally and adapt to their environments. His work is particularly relevant for students and researchers interested in computational fabrication, soft robotics, and the intersection of mechanics and design.
