About

Dr. Lingyun Yan is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of soft robotics, tactile sensing, and biomimetic actuation, with a focus on advancing human-machine interaction and prosthetic technologies. Their major contributions include the development of a fully 3D-printed flexible tactile sensor that integrates biomimetic and auxetic structures, enabling multi-directional sensitivity and conformability to uneven surfaces—a breakthrough for robotic prostheses (39 citations). Yan also elucidated the neural pathways from afferent tactile signals to efferent motor control, combining finite element hand models with neural dynamics to decode sensorimotor mechanisms (28 citations). In locomotion recognition, they designed a decision tree with improved BPNN nodes using a single IMU, achieving high accuracy for exoskeletons and powered prostheses (25 citations). Additionally, Yan introduced novel compliant actuators—Internal Torsion Spring and External Spring designs—that mimic biological muscle performance, applied in a highly biomimetic robotic arm (7 citations). With over 100 cumulative citations, Yan’s work is instrumental in creating more adaptive, sensitive, and lifelike robotic systems, bridging the gap between biological and artificial touch and movement.
