About

Qian Liang is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of biological neural networks and robotics, whose work is redefining the boundaries of embodied intelligence. Her primary research areas include in vitro biological neural networks (BNNs), neurorobotics, and bio-hybrid systems. Liang’s major contribution lies in her comprehensive overview of how cultured neurons can be integrated with robotic platforms to exhibit emergent intelligent behaviors such as learning, memory, and adaptive control. Her landmark 2023 paper, “An Overview of In Vitro Biological Neural Networks for Robot Intelligence,” has already garnered 95 citations, signaling its foundational impact on the field. This work systematically maps the design principles, experimental methodologies, and potential applications of BNN-based neurorobotic systems, offering a critical roadmap for researchers. Liang’s achievements are particularly notable for bridging wet-lab neuroscience with engineering, demonstrating that living neural networks can serve as computational substrates for real-world robotic tasks. Her research not only advances fundamental understanding of biological computation but also opens new pathways for developing adaptive, bio-inspired robots. For students and researchers, Liang’s work represents a bold step toward creating machines that think and learn like living organisms.
