About
Yang Yang Li is a pioneering researcher in the field of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) and their application to electronic skin (E-skin) and soft robotics. Her work focuses on developing self-powered, highly sensitive tactile sensors that can mimic human touch, with key contributions in multidimensional force detection and material discrimination. Li’s most cited paper, "Multidimensional Force Sensors Based on Triboelectric Nanogenerators for Electronic Skin" (2021, 64 citations), introduced a fully elastic E-skin capable of simultaneously sensing normal pressure and shear force using single-electrode-mode TENGs, a breakthrough for robotic and prosthetic applications. She further advanced the field with bioinspired designs, as highlighted in her 2020 Advanced Functional Materials paper (15 citations), where natural plant morphologies were replicated to enhance sensor performance for robotic tactile sensing. Her latest work (2025, 7 citations) demonstrates a soft tactile sensor that uses contact-electrification differences to distinguish stiffness and identify materials simultaneously. With a growing citation record and a focus on merging bioinspiration with nanotechnology, Li is establishing herself as a key innovator in self-powered E-skin systems, with potential impacts on human-machine interfaces, healthcare, and intelligent robotics.
