About
Hanna Yousef is a leading figure in the field of robotic manipulation and tactile sensing, whose work has fundamentally advanced how robots perceive and interact with their environment. Her seminal review, "Tactile sensing for dexterous in-hand manipulation in robotics—A review," has garnered over 769 citations, establishing itself as a cornerstone reference for researchers worldwide. Yousef’s major contributions include the development of a groundbreaking flexible 3D force tactile sensor designed for artificial skin on anthropomorphic robotic hands. This highly bendable sensor achieves exceptional force resolution and selectivity, enabling robots to distinguish between the three components of applied force (Fx, Fy, and Fz) with a maximum variation of only 30%, a critical step toward truly dexterous manipulation. More recently, she has pioneered the integration of reinforcement learning with active disturbance rejection control for precise tracking in 4-DoF robot manipulators, demonstrating her continued drive to merge intelligent algorithms with robust control systems. Her work not only pushes the boundaries of tactile sensing but also provides practical, high-performance solutions for next-generation robotic systems.
