About

Sheau-Shi Pan is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of robotics, sensor design, and precision mechatronics. Her key research areas include capacitive sensing technologies, robotic gripper systems, and force-sensitive instrumentation for industrial automation. One of her most notable contributions is the development of a printed circuit board (PCB)-based capacitive shear force sensor, designed specifically for robotic gripper applications. This sensor addresses a critical challenge in robotics: enabling delicate, adaptive interaction with objects during handling tasks. By leveraging PCB fabrication techniques, Pan’s design offers a scalable, low-cost solution for integrating shear force sensing into robotic end-effectors. Her work has garnered citations from researchers exploring tactile sensing and soft robotics, with her 2013 paper serving as a foundational reference for capacitive shear force measurement. Pan’s contributions are particularly significant for advancing robotic dexterity, where precise force feedback is essential for tasks ranging from assembly to medical robotics. Her research demonstrates a practical, engineering-driven approach to bridging the gap between sensor theory and real-world robotic applications, making her a valuable voice in the field of intelligent automation.
