About
Jiayi Yang is a researcher at the forefront of soft robotics, electronic skin, and flexible sensing technologies. Their work spans tactile and strain sensing, liquid metal elastomers, and human-machine interfaces — fields critical to the advancement of prosthetics, wearable devices, and intelligent robotic systems. Yang's most influential contribution, "Ultrasoft Liquid Metal Elastomer Foams with Positive and Negative Piezopermittivity for Tactile Sensing" (2020, 231 citations), introduced a groundbreaking capacitive sensing paradigm using liquid metal foams that exhibit tunable dielectric responses under pressure — a significant step forward for soft sensor design. Subsequent work refined this platform, including sensors capable of distinguishing in-plane strain from normal stress (62 citations) and bilayer architectures achieving large dynamic sensing ranges (44 citations), addressing longstanding challenges in soft sensor selectivity and robustness. Beyond liquid metal systems, Yang has explored graphene-based electronic skins, triboelectric wearable sensors, and particle jamming dielectrics, demonstrating broad materials expertise. Their earlier work on three-dimensional interfacial stress decoupling for rehabilitation robots highlights a consistent commitment to clinically and practically meaningful applications. With contributions spanning materials innovation, sensor design, and robot path planning algorithms, Yang represents a versatile and impactful voice in intelligent sensing and soft robotics research.
