About
Xiaoying Cheng is a leading researcher in tactile sensing and flexible electronics, with a primary focus on developing advanced piezoelectric tactile sensor arrays for robotic and biomedical applications. Her work centers on enabling machines to perceive touch with human-like precision, particularly through the use of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) films. Her most influential contribution, the "Flexible Piezoelectric Tactile Sensor Array for Dynamic Three-Axis Force Measurement" (2016), has garnered 205 citations and introduced a novel 3×2 matrix design capable of measuring dynamic three-axis contact forces—a critical step for dexterous robotic manipulation. Building on this, her 2017 study on "Fingertip Piezoelectric Tactile Sensor Array for Roughness Encoding Under Varying Scanning Velocity" (54 citations) tackled the challenge of velocity-independent roughness perception, mimicking human tactile constancy. This work is pivotal for artificial tactile systems in prosthetics and industrial automation. Cheng’s innovations have been widely recognized for bridging material science and sensor engineering, with her arrays offering high sensitivity, flexibility, and real-time force measurement. Her research continues to push boundaries in haptic feedback and smart sensing, making her a key figure in the evolution of electronic skin and human-robot interaction.
