About

Enming Song is a pioneer in the emerging field of submillimeter-scale robotics and soft electronic systems. His research focuses on the design, fabrication, and locomotion of microscopic robots, as well as the development of advanced materials for human-machine interfaces and artificial electronic skins. Song’s most notable contribution is the creation of submillimeter-scale multimaterial terrestrial robots (2022, 136 citations), which opened new frontiers for minimally invasive surgery and cellular manipulation. He also made significant strides in tattoo-like epidermal electronics (2021, 35 citations), enabling soft, skin-conformal sensors for seamless human-machine interaction. More recently, Song introduced a capacitive in-sensor tactile computing framework (2025, 24 citations) that enhances the real-time processing capabilities of e-skins, and a programmable inverse design for morphing hard-magnetic soft materials (2025, 12 citations). His work on 3D tubular structures from 2D materials (2022, 11 citations) and terrestrial locomotion of microscopic robots using 3D nanomembranes (2025, 4 citations) further demonstrates his innovative approach to merging materials science with robotics. With over 200 citations across his key papers, Song is shaping the future of intelligent, microscale soft systems.
