About

Dr. Leang Yin is pioneering the next generation of intelligent tactile systems for humanoid robotics and human-machine interfaces. Her research lies at the intersection of bio-inspired materials, soft electronics, and advanced sensory perception. In her highly cited 2025 work, "A Bionic Textile Sensory System for Humanoid Robots Capable of Intelligent Texture Recognition" (41 citations), Dr. Yin developed a fabric-based artificial tactile system that mimics both slow-adaptive (SA) and fast-adaptive (FA) mechanoreceptors, enabling robots to perform nuanced texture discrimination—a critical step toward truly dexterous prosthetics. She further advanced the field with her study on "MXene‐Assisted Rapid Gelation and Foaming of Gradient Hydrogel as Human‐Machine Interfaces" (19 citations), where she engineered a novel hydrogel that dynamically regulates charge accumulation and dissipation. This innovation dramatically enhances tactile sensing capability while solving longstanding stability issues in wearable interfaces. By integrating MXene nanomaterials with gradient hydrogel structures, Dr. Yin has created robust, skin-like sensors that bridge the gap between biological touch and electronic responsiveness. Her work is shaping the future of soft robotics, smart textiles, and next-generation haptic technologies.
