About
Kedong Shang is a leading researcher in flexible electronics and soft robotics, whose work centers on developing advanced tactile sensors and bioinspired robotic systems. His major contributions include the creation of skin-like strain sensors using multiwalled carbon nanotube/polydimethylsiloxane composite films, which mimic natural structures like spider leg microcracks and lotus leaf textures to achieve exceptional sensitivity. Shang also pioneered optical and electrical dual-mode tactile sensors with interlinked interfaces for closed-loop robotics, enabling precise normal force and slip detection. His tri-modal tactile sensor, based on porous ionic hydrogel, allows for decoupled sensing of temperature and pressure—a breakthrough for multifunctional haptics. In soft robotics, Shang designed a light-driven amphibious mini robot that mimics the locomotion of inchworms and water striders, showcasing agile movement across land and water. With individual papers garnering up to 30 citations, his work has accumulated significant impact, advancing wearable technology, human-machine interfaces, and autonomous systems. Shang’s innovative integration of biomimicry and multifunctional sensing continues to inspire next-generation robotics and smart materials.
