Summary
Qiang Zeng is a systems design engineer specializing in robotics and advanced mechatronic systems, with 12 years of experience spanning research and industry roles culminating in his current position at Apple. He holds a PhD in Mechanical Engineering and has led end-to-end design, analysis, and fabrication of novel parallel and hybrid manipulators, including the patented “Tri-pyramid Robot” used for double-sided dieless incremental metal forming. Qiang combines deep theoretical expertise in multibody kinematics, dynamics, error modeling and control with hands-on mastery of CAD/FEA and computational tools like SolidWorks, NX, Abaqus, MATLAB and Mathematica. His portfolio includes innovative electropulsing-assisted tube rolling machines and adaptive hydraulic clamping systems, reflecting a focus on precision meso/micro-scale engineering and manufacturability. Known for inventing kinematotropic mechanisms and low-mobility parallel manipulators with unconventional motion outputs, he bridges mathematical modeling and practical prototyping. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he brings a rare blend of academic rigor and product-focused execution to industrial automation and robotic system design.
