About

Eng-Hock Lim is a leading researcher in the fields of soft robotics, wearable electronics, and self-powered sensor systems. His work focuses on developing intelligent, muscle-alike robotic grippers and smart gloves that integrate artificial intelligence for real-time object recognition and feedback control. Lim’s major contributions include the creation of an AI-assisted, self-powered robotic gripper based on eco-EGaIn nanocomposites, which addresses the critical challenge of undetectable slipping and false positioning in pick-and-place operations—a paper that has garnered 31 citations since 2022. He also pioneered an AI-driven smart glove for object recognition, cited 21 times, and developed a stretchable, self-powered sensor for wearable electronics, eliminating the need for external power sources. His research has significant implications for healthcare monitoring, prosthetics, and industrial automation. With over 50 total citations and growing, Lim’s work stands out for its innovation in merging sustainability (eco-friendly materials) with advanced AI, pushing the boundaries of soft robotics and human-machine interfaces. His achievements mark him as a rising figure in next-generation smart materials and systems.
