About

Sen-Yeu Yang is a leading figure in the development of flexible and wearable sensing technologies, with a primary focus on creating artificial skins and tactile interfaces for robotic and biomedical applications. His most impactful contribution, the 2007 paper "Design and fabrication of an artificial skin using PI-copper films" (21 citations), introduced a groundbreaking flexible 8x8 temperature and tactile sensing array. This work demonstrated the heterogeneous integration of temperature and pressure sensing elements on a copper-polyimide film, enabling robots to perceive their environment with a human-like sense of touch. Yang further advanced the field with his 2018 study on "Wearable sensors developed using a novel plastic metal material" (6 citations), exploring innovative materials for next-generation wearable devices. His research bridges the gap between microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and soft robotics, emphasizing practical fabrication methods for durable, flexible sensors. By pioneering scalable designs for artificial skin, Yang has laid critical groundwork for human-robot interaction, prosthetics, and smart textiles, earning recognition for merging material science with functional sensor architectures.
