About
Stefan Sailer is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of flexible electronics and robotic systems, whose work bridges the gap between high-performance silicon circuitry and large-area printed electronics. His primary research areas include Hybrid System in Foil (HySiF) technology, robotic drivers for vehicle testing, and flexible sensor systems for robotic applications. Sailer’s most significant contribution is the development of Smart Skin technology, which integrates ultra-thin silicon chips with printed electronics on polymer foils, enabling compact, flexible systems for robotic sensing and wearable applications. His work on HySiF has been cited 18 times and includes a notable demonstration of an ultra-thin flexible CMOS stress sensor integrated into an adaptive robotic gripper, showcasing the practical potential of his innovations. In parallel, Sailer has made substantial contributions to automotive testing through his development of robotic drivers for roller dynamometers. His papers on flatness-based velocity tracking, driveaway and braking control, and adaptive model-based velocity control (totaling over 40 citations) have advanced the precision and affordability of automated vehicle testing. Together, Sailer’s work demonstrates a unique ability to combine materials science, circuit design, and control engineering, positioning him as a key figure in the evolution of smart, flexible robotic systems.
