About

Yepu Cui is a researcher at the forefront of human-computer interaction and digital fabrication, with a focus on transforming passive architectural surfaces into interactive, responsive environments. His most notable contribution is the development of **Duco**, a large-scale electronics fabrication robot introduced in 2021, which has already garnered 12 citations for its novel approach to embedding interactivity into everyday structures like walls, facades, and glass windows. By enabling the direct fabrication of electronic circuits onto large, rigid surfaces, Duco bridges the gap between static architecture and dynamic user interfaces, opening new possibilities for smart buildings and ambient computing. Cui’s work stands out for its practical scalability—addressing a critical challenge in making interactive surfaces feasible in real-world, large-scale settings. His research not only advances fabrication techniques but also reimagines how we interact with our built environment, earning recognition among peers in the HCI and UIST communities. For students and researchers, Cui’s work exemplifies how creative engineering can turn inert spaces into living, responsive interfaces.
