About
Gongqi Cao is a rising researcher in the field of soft robotics and smart materials, with a particular focus on magneto-responsive structures and bio-inspired locomotion. His work centers on engineering worm-inspired robots that leverage origami principles and magnetic actuation to achieve diverse movements—including creeping, rolling, climbing, and obstacle crossing. Cao’s most cited paper, “A worm-inspired robot based on origami structures driven by the magnetic field” (2023, 22 citations), showcases his ability to combine structural design with remote control. He has also made significant contributions to understanding the mechanical responses of soft magnetic robots, exploring how geometric shape influences deformation and locomotion (12 citations). His research extends to large deformation analyses of magneto-responsive beams and their applications in flexible grippers and robots, as well as peeling behaviors of magnetic soft sheets. More recently, Cao has ventured into dielectric elastomer dynamics, incorporating fractional viscoelasticity models to better capture non-Newtonian behavior. With a growing portfolio of publications and a clear trajectory toward practical applications in soft robotics and smart actuation, Cao is establishing himself as an innovative voice in the field of intelligent soft materials.
