About

Dr. Jiaqi Miao is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, bioinspired design, and smart materials. Her work centers on developing soft, biodegradable, and magnetically actuated robots that mimic natural organisms for precise manipulation and transport. Dr. Miao’s major contributions include the PPF-MEAM framework for robotic bin picking (67 citations), which revolutionized pose estimation by integrating point pair features with multiple edge appearance models. She also created a soft tunable gelatin robot with insect-like claws (57 citations), enabling biodegradable grasping and delivery systems. Her nanofiber-based biodegradable millirobot (50 citations) introduced controllable anchoring and adaptive drug release, while her comprehensive review on untethered soft magnetic robots (29 citations) has become a key reference in the field. Notably, her cilia- and pine needle-inspired asymmetric pillar actuators (28 citations) achieved all-space liquid transport and self-regulated locomotion. With over 285 total citations, Dr. Miao’s work bridges fundamental bioinspiration and practical robotic applications, offering sustainable, life-like solutions for medical, industrial, and environmental challenges.
