About

Stefan Saller is a leading researcher in the field of flexible hybrid electronics and advanced sensor systems, with a particular focus on ultra-thin CMOS technologies and their integration into robotics and biomedical applications. His most cited work, "An Ultra-Thin Flexible CMOS Stress Sensor Demonstrated on an Adaptive Robotic Gripper" (2015, 26 citations), showcases his pioneering contribution to the development of a 20 μm-thick flexible stress sensor designed for Fin Ray® grippers. This innovation enables real-time measurement of in-plane stress, allowing robotic systems to extract object shape and operational status with unprecedented sensitivity and adaptability. Saller’s research bridges the gap between rigid semiconductor technology and flexible, conformable systems, advancing the field of hybrid systems-in-foil (HySiF). His work has significant implications for soft robotics, prosthetics, and wearable electronics, where precise tactile feedback is critical. By demonstrating the seamless integration of CMOS sensors into adaptive robotic platforms, Saller has established a foundation for next-generation intelligent systems. His contributions continue to inspire innovations in flexible electronics, making him a key figure in the evolution of smart, responsive materials and devices.
