About
Zhao Gong is a leading researcher in bio-inspired robotics, with a primary focus on biomimetic underwater vehicles and robotic fish locomotion. His most notable contribution is the development of a cownose ray-inspired robotic fish, detailed in his highly cited 2015 paper (34 citations). This work introduced a novel pectoral fin design that simultaneously achieves oscillating and chordwise twisting motions, closely mimicking the natural propulsion of cownose rays. By replicating these complex fin kinematics, Gong’s design significantly improves maneuverability and efficiency in robotic fish, offering a breakthrough for underwater exploration and environmental monitoring. His research also extends to control systems, as seen in his work on roll maneuver control for pectoral fin-propelled robots (2 citations). Gong’s achievements demonstrate a deep integration of biology and engineering, providing a foundation for future autonomous underwater vehicles. His biomimetic approach not only advances robotics but also inspires new methods for studying aquatic locomotion, making his work valuable for students and researchers in robotics, biomechanics, and marine technology.
