About
Peiyi Gong is a leading researcher in bio-inspired robotics, specializing in the design and development of flapping-wing micro air vehicles (FW-MAVs). His work focuses on translating the exceptional flight capabilities of insects—particularly dragonflies—into engineered systems, with key contributions in resonant flapping mechanisms, direct-driven actuation, and compact flight control. Gong’s most notable work, the “HiFly-Dragon,” is a dragonfly-inspired robot that mimics the independent, four-wing control of real dragonflies, enabling superior maneuverability and stability. This paper, published in 2024, has already garnered 13 citations, reflecting its immediate impact on the field. His subsequent research, “Structural Designs of Gear-Based Flapping Actuation and Parallel-Coupled Flight Control Mechanisms for a Compact Twin-Winged, Tailless Flapping Robot” (2025), advances the state of the art by integrating gear-based actuation with parallel-coupled control, achieving a tailless design that reduces weight and complexity. Gong’s work is pivotal for applications in environmental monitoring, search-and-rescue, and surveillance, where agile, insect-like flight is essential. His innovative approach to bio-inspired engineering continues to inspire new generations of roboticists and biologists alike.
