About
Zengmeng Zhang is a pioneering researcher at the forefront of bio-inspired robotics and fluid power systems, with a focus on water hydraulic artificial muscles (WHAMs) and pipeline inspection technologies. His major contributions include the development of high-strength WHAMs, which function as biomimetic actuators for underwater manipulators, offering superior performance in aquatic environments compared to traditional pneumatic versions. Zhang’s work on modeling and fatigue behavior of WHAMs has advanced the durability and application of these actuators in underwater robotics, with his 2017 paper on drive characteristics garnering 21 citations. He has also significantly impacted pipeline maintenance through bypass pipeline inspection gauges, with his 2020 speed prediction model cited 17 times, and introduced a novel 3-D positioning method for pipeline robots using rotating permanent magnet mechanical antennas (2023, 9 citations). Notable achievements include large wall-climbing robots for ship rust removal (2010, 13 citations) and bionic modules for underwater continuum robots (2025). With over 70 citations across his key works, Zhang’s research bridges theoretical modeling and practical engineering, offering innovative solutions for underwater exploration and industrial automation.
