About
Songsong Zhang is a researcher at the intersection of MEMS technology, robotics, and smart manufacturing, with a focus on developing advanced sensing systems that enhance the safety and precision of human-robot interaction. Zhang's most influential contribution is a flexible ultrasonic proximity sensing skin utilizing Piezoelectric Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers (PMUTs), designed to enable real-time collision avoidance in human-robot collaborative environments — a paper that has garnered 52 citations since 2021, reflecting its timely relevance to modern industrial robotics. Complementing this work, Zhang developed a highly integrated 3D MEMS force sensing module for robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery, providing surgeons with critical tactile feedback during procedures, earning 40 citations since 2023. Beyond sensing hardware, Zhang has contributed to intelligent manufacturing through subtask-based robot self-assembly frameworks and deep learning-driven predictive maintenance models for pneumatic systems. Collectively, Zhang's research addresses foundational challenges in making robots safer, more capable, and more autonomous — work of growing importance as collaborative robotics expands across healthcare and industrial manufacturing settings.
