About

Minzheng Sun is a rising leader in the field of soft robotics and self-powered systems, with a core focus on triboelectric energy harvesting and its integration into next-generation wearable and biomedical devices. His most-cited work introduces a groundbreaking self-powered soft triboelectric-electrohydrodynamic pump, which overcomes critical efficiency and power supply barriers that have long limited the prolonged operation of soft pumps. By ingeniously combining triboelectric and electrohydrodynamic principles, Sun’s design enables autonomous fluid actuation without external batteries—a transformative step for soft robotics, microfluidics, and implantable medical devices. This 2025 paper has already garnered 27 citations, reflecting its immediate impact. Additionally, his 2024 review on triboelectric tactile sensors for robot hands (23 citations) provides a comprehensive roadmap for advancing haptic feedback in robotic manipulation, bridging the gap between sensing and actuation. Sun’s work not only pushes the boundaries of energy-autonomous systems but also lays the foundation for more dexterous, lifelike robotic hands. As a young researcher, his contributions signal a promising trajectory toward practical, self-sustaining soft machines that could revolutionize human-machine interaction and healthcare.
