About
Zezheng Qiao is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of soft robotics, magnetic actuation, and biomedical engineering. His work centers on developing magnetically controlled continuum robots and stimuli-responsive soft robots for minimally invasive therapies, endovascular intervention, and targeted drug delivery. Qiao’s major contributions include designing a concentric tube magnetic continuum robot with multiple stiffness levels for flexible endovascular procedures, and a dual-responsive hand claw structured by a photothermal double layer of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) and carbon nanotubes. He has also created bio-inspired systems such as a ray-inspired flexible robot fish and a tumbleweed-inspired soft robot for stomach drug delivery, both leveraging photo-responsive hydrogels. With over 97 total citations across his top papers, Qiao’s impact is evident in his 2025 review on advances in magnetically controlled medical robotics, which has already garnered 20 citations. His notable achievements include developing untethered bionic soft robotic vehicles with magnetic actuation for multi-scenario applications, and engineering multi-stiffness nested cooperative magnetic continuum robots using low melting point alloys. Qiao’s innovative, nature-inspired designs are pushing the boundaries of what soft robots can achieve in clinical and environmental settings.
