About

Liangxu Xu is pioneering the next generation of electronic skin (e-skin) and wearable sensors, with a focus on self-powered, highly robust tactile systems. His core research integrates triboelectric nanogenerators and bioinspired design to create devices that mimic human mechanoreception. His most influential work, a “Fingerprint-inspired electronic skin” (118 citations), achieves fine texture recognition by replicating the ridges of a human fingertip. He has also developed a stretching-insensitive, self-powered pressure sensor (77 citations) that maintains accuracy under deformation—a critical challenge for wearable tech. Xu’s fully organic, self-powered e-skin (17 citations) demonstrates multifunctional sensing with skin-like flexibility and exceptional durability. More recently, his “Omnidirectionally Strain-Unperturbed Tactile Array” (12 citations) uses modulus regulation in elastomer meshes to eliminate strain-induced interference, while his “high-sensitive humanoid mechanoreceptor” (6 citations) enables spatiotemporal cognition of both static and dynamic tactile stimuli. Through these innovations, Xu is advancing intelligent prosthetics, human-machine interfaces, and robotic tactile perception, achieving over 240 total citations and establishing himself as a key figure in self-powered, stretchable electronics.
