About

Yajun Cao is at the forefront of sustainable and intelligent soft robotics, pioneering the development of biodegradable materials for next-generation electronics and wearable systems. Their major contributions lie in creating environmentally friendly alternatives for soft robotics components—specifically actuators and sensors—addressing the critical challenge of electronic waste while advancing healthcare applications. Cao’s work on an intelligent glove system represents a significant leap in human-machine interaction, enabling real-time capture of multimodal tactile information including pressure, bending, and temperature. This innovation has garnered attention for its potential to revolutionize robotic perception and prosthetic technologies. Additionally, Cao developed ultrathin, self-powered sensors through a novel liquid-phase transferring technique, achieving exceptional conformability on complex 3D surfaces for superior on-skin wearability. With their most-cited paper accumulating 8 citations and several works published in 2024-2025, Cao is establishing a strong early-career impact. Their research elegantly bridges sustainability with high-performance sensing, positioning them as a rising leader in biodegradable soft robotics and intelligent wearable systems.
