About

Qingliang Zeng is a pioneering researcher in the field of bio-inspired robotics, with a focused expertise in developing autonomous underwater vehicles for deep-sea exploration and resource harvesting. His major contributions center on the design and implementation of bionic jellyfish robots, which mimic the efficient propulsion and maneuverability of biological jellyfish to navigate complex seabed environments. Zeng’s most cited work, "Design of the swimming system of a bionic jellyfish robot for seabed exploration" (2023, 23 citations), establishes a foundational framework for soft robotic locomotion in underwater settings, addressing critical challenges in energy efficiency and environmental adaptability. His subsequent research, "Development of a bionic jellyfish robot for collecting polymetallic nodules" (2025), extends this innovation toward practical applications in marine mining, showcasing a novel integration of robotic manipulation with sustainable resource extraction. By combining principles of biomimicry, mechanical engineering, and oceanography, Zeng’s work not only advances the state of the art in underwater robotics but also offers scalable solutions for ecological monitoring and deep-sea mineral recovery. His research holds significant promise for industries and scientific communities seeking to explore and utilize ocean resources with minimal environmental impact.
