About

Dr. Sicheng Chen is a leading innovator at the intersection of flexible electronics, tactile sensing, and soft robotics. His research focuses on developing highly sensitive, multi-modal sensors and bio-inspired robotic systems capable of operating in complex, confined environments. Chen’s major contributions include the creation of a multi-sized planar capacitive pressure sensor that achieves ultra-high sensitivity (71 citations), a breakthrough enabling precise pressure mapping. He further advanced the field with a bimodal capacitive tactile sensor that leverages the shield effect of a triboelectric nanogenerator for enhanced performance (40 citations). His work on a flexible integrated sensor with an asymmetric structure allows for simultaneous 3D tactile and thermal sensing (18 citations), demonstrating a sophisticated approach to multi-parameter detection. Most recently, Chen has pioneered a Kresling origami-enabled soft robot capable of autonomous obstacle avoidance and wall-climbing (10 citations), addressing a critical hurdle in soft robotics. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Chen’s work is shaping the future of intelligent, adaptive systems for human-machine interaction and autonomous exploration.
