About

Yaohui Dong is a researcher specializing in fiber optic sensing technologies and tactile sensor systems, with a particular focus on hardness recognition and flexible sensor design. Their most-cited work, "Hardness recognition using a fiber Bragg grating flexible tactile sensor" (2025), has garnered 4 citations, demonstrating early impact in a niche but growing field. Dong’s major contribution lies in integrating fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) into flexible tactile sensors, enabling precise discrimination of material hardness through optical signal analysis—a critical advancement for applications in robotics, prosthetics, and biomedical diagnostics. By leveraging the inherent advantages of FBGs, such as immunity to electromagnetic interference and high sensitivity, Dong has addressed key limitations in traditional electronic tactile sensors, paving the way for more robust and reliable haptic interfaces. This work represents a foundational step toward intelligent sensing systems that can mimic human touch, with potential to enhance human-robot interaction and medical palpation technologies. Dong’s research continues to push the boundaries of optical sensing, offering innovative solutions for real-world tactile perception challenges.
