About
Sohee John Yoon is pioneering the future of soft robotics and human-machine interaction, with a research portfolio that masterfully blends materials science, sensor design, and intelligent actuation. His work centers on creating soft, stretchable, and safe systems that can sense, adapt, and interact with the world—and with us—without the constraints of rigid electronics. Yoon’s key contributions include the invention of “triboresistive touch sensing,” a grid-free, self-powered touch recognition system using ionic power generators (69 citations), and the development of soft inflatable sensing modules that make robots safer for human collaboration (61 citations). He has also engineered stretchable gripper fingers with integrated tactile sensors for dexterous manipulation (53 citations) and a soft optical waveguide for dynamic pressure and strain sensing (53 citations). His recent stretchable glove for accurate hand pose reconstruction (44 citations) demonstrates a leap in wearable sensing for robotics and VR. With over 300 total citations across his most impactful works, Yoon is shaping a world where robots are not just machines, but gentle, perceptive partners.
