About
Liyan Mo is a pioneering researcher in soft robotics, specializing in tactile sensing, actuation, and gripper design for extreme and unstructured environments. Their major contributions lie in developing robust, low-cost sensory and actuation systems that enable robots to operate under high hydrostatic pressure—such as deep-sea conditions—where traditional vision fails. Mo’s work on tactile sensors for 50 MPa environments (30 citations) and optical blocking structure sensors (3 citations) has advanced haptic perception for delicate grasping and human–machine interaction. They also introduced discrete pneumatic-tendon-coupled actuators (12 citations) that combine compliance and variable stiffness, addressing energy limitations in untethered soft robots. Additionally, Mo’s reconfigurable compliant gripper based on a flexible scissors mechanism (3 citations) expands adaptive grasping capabilities. With over 49 total citations and multiple publications in 2023–2025, Mo’s research is shaping the future of soft robotics for exploration, manufacturing, and assistive technologies. Their innovative, cost-effective designs promise to democratize access to advanced robotic systems.
