About

Sun Woh Lye is a leading researcher in advanced sensor technologies and bio-inspired robotics, with a focus on flexible, self-powered systems and cyborg insect control. His major contributions include the development of PVDF nanofiber sensors for vibration measurement, which enable miniaturized, self-powered sensing for applications in sports, soft robotics, healthcare, and communication devices. This work, cited 43 times, demonstrates the practical utility of flexible sensors in determining mechanical properties like string tension. More recently, Lye introduced a gear-switch-integrated dual-mode three-wheeled exoskeleton for cyborg insects, significantly enhancing open-loop locomotion control precision and load capacity. This innovation, published in 2025, addresses critical challenges in confined space exploration by improving the maneuverability of cyborg insects, which are promising alternatives to small artificial robots. Lye’s work bridges materials science, mechanical engineering, and robotics, offering scalable solutions for precise control in constrained environments. His achievements highlight a commitment to pushing the boundaries of miniaturized sensing and bio-hybrid systems, making him a notable figure in the field of advanced robotics and sensor technology.
