About
Miao Feng is a leading researcher in soft robotics, specializing in the design and fabrication of high-performance pneumatic artificial muscles and fabric-based actuators. Their major contributions center on overcoming the fundamental trade-offs in soft actuation—balancing contraction ratio, output force, and dynamic response. Feng pioneered the X-crossing pneumatic artificial muscles (91 citations), which deliver lightweight, high-contraction performance, and developed muscle-fiber array inspired actuators (54 citations) that enable multiple-mode actuations through a novel planar design and one-step rolling fabrication. Their fabric-lattice artificial muscles (46 citations) achieve high stroke and high output force, while the soft multifunctional bistable fabric mechanism (36 citations) introduces electronics-free autonomous control for soft robots. Feng also advanced energy efficiency with high-speed, low-energy actuation systems that recirculate exhaust air (17 citations). Notable achievements include translating these technologies into clinical applications, such as fabric-based pneumatic soft gloves for assisting patients with severe brachial plexus injury (4 citations). With over 259 total citations and multiple high-impact publications in 2023-2025, Feng’s work is driving the next generation of soft robots for exoskeletons, locomotion, and rehabilitation.
