About

Dr. Lung Chow is pioneering the next generation of wearable and robotic sensory systems, with a focus on breathable haptic textiles and neuromorphic electronic skins. His most cited work, a 2024 study on a fully integrated breathable haptic textile (57 citations), addresses a critical bottleneck in wearable haptics: moisture accumulation at the skin-device interface. By engineering a textile that remains functional and comfortable even during perspiration, Chow’s innovation directly enhances feedback accuracy in virtual reality and human-robot interaction—solving a problem that has long limited practical adoption. In 2025, he advanced the field further with a neuromorphic robotic electronic skin capable of active pain and injury perception (7 citations). This work moves beyond basic tactile sensing, endowing humanoid robots with empathetic, close-contact capabilities by mimicking biological nociception. Chow’s contributions are foundational for creating robots that can safely and intuitively interact with humans, while his breathable textile design sets a new standard for wearable comfort and performance. His research sits at the intersection of materials science, neuroscience, and robotics, promising to redefine how machines sense and respond to the physical world.
