Ronald Fearing is John William MacKay, Jr. Electrical Engineering Professor Emeritus in the Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at Univ. of California, Berkeley, which he joined in Jan. 1988. He was Vice-Chair for Undergraduate Matters from 2000-2006 and was Vice-Chair for EE Graduate Matters (2016-2021). His current research interests are in bioinspired milli-robotics, including mobile milli-robots, cooperative locomotion, actuation, rapid prototyping, and parallel nano-grasping (gecko adhesion). He has worked in tactile sensing, teletaction, and dextrous manipulation. He has a PhD from Stanford in EE (1988) and SB and SM in EECS from MIT (1983). He received the Presidential Young Investigator Award in 1991 and is the co-inventor on 21 US and international patents.CV (Feb. 2026) Google Scholar
