About

Qihui Zhou is a leading researcher in the field of bio-inspired electronic skins and flexible sensing technologies. His work centers on developing advanced sensory systems that mimic human biological capabilities, with a particular focus on proximity detection and pain perception. Zhou’s most cited paper, “Proximity Sensing Electronic Skin: Principles, Characteristics, and Applications” (2024, 56 citations), has become a foundational reference in the field, detailing how non-contact sensing can revolutionize human-robot collaboration, human-machine interfaces, and remote monitoring. This work has attracted significant attention for its potential to enhance safety and interactivity in autonomous systems. More recently, Zhou introduced “Graded anthropomorphic pain perception electronic skin” (2025), a pioneering concept that replicates the human ability to perceive varying levels of pain, opening new avenues for prosthetics and robotics. His research is notable for bridging materials science, electronics, and neuroscience, offering practical pathways toward truly intelligent and responsive artificial skins. With a growing citation impact, Zhou is recognized as an innovator whose contributions are shaping the next generation of wearable and robotic sensory technologies.
