About
Tianci Ji is an emerging researcher at the intersection of medical robotics, flexible electronics, and human-machine interaction, with a particular focus on advancing sensing capabilities for minimally invasive surgical systems. His work addresses a critical gap in robotic surgery: the lack of tactile and haptic feedback that surgeons rely on during delicate procedures. Ji's most recognized contribution is the development of stretchable, bimodal electronic skin for colonoscopic continuum robots, integrating triboelectric artificial synapses to enable multiplexed sensing across the robot's complex geometry — a paper that has already garnered 16 citations since its 2025 publication. His research also encompasses high-sensitivity MEMS-based 3D force sensors integrated into master-slave robotic systems, offering surgeons real-time haptic information that was previously absent in minimally invasive surgery. Beyond surgical robotics, Ji has pioneered innovative human-robot interaction interfaces, including the Touch-Code Glove, which uses triboelectric-digital encoding to enable intuitive robot training. With a publication record concentrated in 2024-2025 and growing citation impact across multiple fronts, Ji is rapidly establishing himself as a creative force in next-generation medical and wearable robotics.
