About

Yueqi Wang is a leading figure in soft robotics, with a primary focus on the design and control of fluidically actuated systems. Her most-cited work, "Differential pressure control of 3D printed soft fluidic actuators" (2017, 73 citations), addresses a critical bottleneck in the field: the inefficiency and noise of traditional flow control. By pioneering a differential pressure control strategy, Wang demonstrated how to achieve precise, quiet, and leak-tolerant actuation for soft robots, significantly enhancing their suitability for sensitive and unknown environments. This contribution is foundational for advancing soft robotic applications in medical devices and exploration. Beyond this landmark study, Wang’s research spans the integration of 3D printing with soft actuator design, enabling rapid prototyping of complex, compliant structures. Her work has been widely recognized for bridging control theory and practical hardware, earning her a reputation as an innovator in making soft robots more reliable and efficient. For students and researchers, Wang’s insights offer a clear path toward building next-generation soft robots that are both robust and gentle.
