About

Lele Yang is a rising innovator in the field of soft robotics and smart actuation systems, with a focus on bio-inspired and origami-based mechanisms. Their most notable contribution is the development of an "Origami-Inspired Bistable Gripper with Self-Sensing Capabilities," a groundbreaking design that integrates a custom PET linear solenoid actuator to serve dual roles—both as an actuator and a sensor. This work, published in 2024, demonstrates how movements of a permanent magnet plunger induce electromotive force, enabling the gripper to sense its own state without external sensors. Though early in its citation trajectory with 3 citations, this research represents a significant step toward compact, multifunctional robotic systems. Yang’s work bridges mechanical design and intelligent control, offering potential applications in minimally invasive surgery, micro-manipulation, and adaptive grasping. Their achievements highlight a talent for merging simplicity with sophistication, making them a promising voice in next-generation robotics.
