About
Y.K. Cheung is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of soft electronics, robotics, and advanced sensing, whose work is fundamentally reshaping how machines interact with the physical world. Their primary research areas include stretchable and curved electronics, robotic e-skin for human-robot interaction, and multi-modal tactile sensing. Cheung’s most impactful contribution is the development of vertical serpentine interconnects for stretchable electronics, a breakthrough detailed in their 2023 highly-cited paper (32 citations) that enables robust, flexible devices for wearable and curved applications. This foundational work has paved the way for next-generation electronics that conform to complex surfaces. More recently, Cheung has advanced human safety in collaborative robotics by integrating conformal kirigami structures with deep learning, creating a robotic e-skin capable of large-area contact sensing. Their innovative CompdVision sensor, which fuses near-field 3D vision with tactile sensing in a compact compound-eye system, represents a significant leap in multi-modal perception for automation. Through these achievements, Cheung is not only pushing the boundaries of sensor design but also building the critical technologies needed for safe, intuitive human-robot collaboration.
