About

Run Wen is a leading researcher at the forefront of bioinspired electronic skins and intelligent robotic perception. Her work focuses on developing advanced sensory systems that mimic biological capabilities, particularly for detecting and responding to complex liquid environments. Wen’s most cited contribution, the 2024 paper “Bionic e-skin with precise multi-directional droplet sliding sensing for enhanced robotic perception” (51 citations), introduces a groundbreaking electronic skin that overcomes a critical limitation in soft robotics: the inability to perceive liquid droplet dynamics with high precision. By enabling multi-directional sliding detection, her innovation allows robots to autonomously regulate their interactions with wet or fluid surfaces—a capability essential for applications in healthcare, environmental monitoring, and dexterous manipulation. This work has already garnered significant attention, establishing Wen as a rising authority in tactile sensing and human-robot interaction. Her research not only advances fundamental materials science but also offers practical pathways toward more adaptive, perceptive robotic systems. With a growing citation impact and a clear trajectory of innovation, Run Wen is shaping the future of intelligent, skin-like interfaces for next-generation robotics.
