Introduction: Sicong Liu received the B.S. degree (with Hons.) in Mechanical Design Manufacturing and Automation from the Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) in 2009, the M.S. degree in Mechanical Design and Theory from HIT in 2011, and the Ph.D. degree in Robotics and Engineering Mechanics from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, 2015. He worked as Mechanical Engineer in DJI, developed the world’s smallest three-axis gimbal camera OSMO Pocket. As a senior mechanical engineer in UBTECH, he designed and produced the robotic hand for the humanoid robot Walker2. His research experience includes deployable structures inspired by Origami, soft robotics, three-axis gimbal system and humanoid robots. He joined Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTECH) in Aug. 2019, as Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Energy Engineering. His research focus on the soft robotics and origami mechanisms.
