About

Tianzong Xu is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of soft robotics, optical fiber sensing, and artificial intelligence. His work focuses on developing biomimetic tactile sensors that replicate human skin’s signal processing capabilities, enabling machines to perceive touch force, object shape, and spatial positioning with unprecedented accuracy. Xu’s most cited paper, “Integrating an optical fiber sensor and artificial intelligence for enhanced tactile sensing in human-computer interaction” (2025, 13 citations), introduces a flexible tactile sensor inspired by human skin, designed for wearable devices and intelligent robotics. His subsequent studies, including “Learning the human perceptions of touch force positing and object shape using a soft optical fiber tactile sensing pad” (2024, 8 citations) and “Intelligent soft self-twisted shape sensor” (2023, 3 citations), further advance soft sensing technologies for human-computer interaction. With a growing citation impact, Xu’s contributions are shaping the future of haptic feedback systems, prosthetics, and interactive robotics. His innovative fusion of optics and AI promises to bridge the gap between artificial and biological touch, offering transformative potential for next-generation smart materials and interfaces.
