About

Shaoming Dong is a leading figure in flexible electronics and tactile sensing, whose work addresses critical bottlenecks in intelligent robotics and human-machine interfaces. His research focuses on developing high-performance, multi-axis pressure sensors capable of operating in low-pressure regimes—a longstanding challenge for artificial skin and robotic touch. Dong’s most cited work, a 2018 paper on highly sensitive flexible three-axis tactile sensors (115 citations), introduced a groundbreaking design using microstructured graphene to exploit interface contact resistance. This innovation enabled unprecedented sensitivity to both normal and shear forces at low pressures, overcoming the limitations of conventional sensors that only function in high-pressure ranges. By bridging the gap between material science and practical device engineering, Dong’s contributions have significantly advanced the field of soft robotics and wearable electronics. His achievements underscore a commitment to creating sensors that mimic human touch, with potential applications in prosthetics, medical diagnostics, and smart textiles. With a citation count reflecting his influence, Dong continues to push the boundaries of tactile sensing, inspiring new generations of researchers to explore the intersection of nanomaterials and flexible electronics.
