About

Dr. Zhiwei Zhong is a leading researcher in bio-inspired robotics and human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on advancing autonomous systems for underwater and aerial environments. His work bridges the gap between biological principles and engineering design, most notably through his comprehensive review "Review of research and control technology of underwater bionic robots" (2023, 49 citations), which synthesizes key developments in fish-inspired locomotion and control for next-generation autonomous underwater vehicles. This contribution has become a foundational reference for researchers seeking to harness nature's efficiency for marine exploration and resource management. Dr. Zhong also pioneered intuitive human-machine interfaces, as demonstrated in his influential paper "ROS-based UAV control using hand gesture recognition" (2017, 37 citations), where he developed a robust hand gesture recognition algorithm for natural multi-UAV interaction. This work represents an important step toward seamless human-swarm collaboration. With his research spanning both aquatic and aerial domains, Dr. Zhong's interdisciplinary approach continues to shape the future of autonomous robotics, making him a notable figure in the field of biomimetic and interactive robotic systems.
