Professor Jian Dai has made a pioneering contribution to mechanical engineering, most notably by his contributions to the fundamental theory, design and applications of mechanisms and robotic systems.
He is particularly noted for having introduced the concept of metamorphic and reconfigurable mechanisms that can be folded and re-erected with origami techniques to form mobile or multi-functional devices. Many of these mechanisms have been taken forward to commercialization by spin-outs and major industries. He received the DED Mechanisms and Robotics Award established in 1974, and was the 58th recipient of the most prestigious ASME Machine Design Award established in 1958.
