About

Fangyang Dong is a leading researcher at the intersection of biomimetic robotics, intelligent sensing, and swarm intelligence. Their work focuses on endowing robotic systems—from underwater swarms to robotic hands—with human-like perception and autonomous coordination. Dong’s major contributions include pioneering triboelectric tactile sensors that enable robots to perceive both contact and proximity, as demonstrated in their 2024 work on robotic hand sensors (23 citations). They have also advanced swarm robotics with a comprehensive 2025 review on bio-inspired underwater robot swarms (10 citations), highlighting multi-disciplinary integration for autonomous collective behavior. Notably, Dong developed an MXene and PAN-based carbon fiber bimodal triboelectric sensor for robotic arm control, and a hybrid triboelectric–electromagnetic sensor enhanced by deep learning for dual tactile and touchless perception. With over 36 cumulative citations in just two years, Dong’s work is rapidly shaping the future of intelligent robotics, offering scalable solutions for industrial automation, environmental monitoring, and human-robot interaction.
