About
Zonghao Zuo is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of soft robotics, flexible sensing, and deep-sea exploration. His work centers on developing intelligent robotic systems that can perceive, manipulate, and interact with delicate environments—from the deep ocean to human-scale tasks. Zuo’s major contributions include the creation of bimodal self-powered flexible sensors (BSFS) that enable robots to sense and describe objects using triboelectric and magnetoelastic effects, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2023 paper (99 citations). He also designed the first miniature deep-sea morphable robot with multimodal locomotion (2025, 50 citations), a centimeter-scale soft actuator capable of navigating extreme pressures. His nitinol-embedded soft robotic grippers (2024, 18 citations) allow for nondestructive deep-sea manipulation, while his sensorized grippers with force estimation (2025) add interactive capabilities. Zuo’s reviews on data-driven methods for soft continuum robots (2025) and his work on laser-induced graphene sensors (2025) further showcase his breadth. With over 175 total citations, Zuo is advancing the frontier of soft robotics for real-world, high-stakes applications.
