About

Jiyong Wang is a rising innovator at the intersection of soft robotics and optical sensing, with a focus on creating robust, calibration-free systems for real-world deployment. His primary research areas include soft robotic sensing, optical waveguide technologies, and underwater wireless communication. Wang’s most significant contribution is the development of a calibration-free optical waveguide bending sensor for soft robots, a breakthrough that addresses a critical bottleneck in soft robotics: the need for accurate, drift-free posture feedback without complex recalibration. This work, published in 2025, has already garnered 10 citations, signaling its rapid impact on the field. Additionally, Wang has pioneered an optical differential method for underwater wireless communication in turbid environments, offering a novel approach that overcomes the limitations of traditional intensity-modulation systems. While this paper currently holds 1 citation, its potential for advancing marine robotics and oceanographic exploration is substantial. Wang’s achievements stand out for their practical orientation—moving soft sensors and underwater communication from lab concepts to deployable, low-maintenance solutions. His work is particularly valuable for students and researchers seeking to bridge the gap between optical physics and embodied robotic intelligence.
