About

Yegor Piskarev is a researcher at the forefront of soft robotics, flexible electronics, and sustainable actuator technologies, with contributions spanning stretchable sensing, soft actuation, and bio-inspired robotic systems. His most cited work, "Ultrastretchable Strain Sensors Using Carbon Black‐Filled Elastomer Composites" (2017, 320 citations), established foundational benchmarks for batch-manufacturable soft sensors capable of sustaining large deformations — a critical advancement for wearable and robotic systems. Complementing this, his research on liquid metal elastomer foams for tactile sensing (2020, 231 citations) introduced novel piezopermittive materials that significantly expanded the design space for electronic skins and human-machine interfaces. Piskarev has also pioneered edible robotics through biodegradable gelatin-based pneumatic actuators (2017, 122 citations), demonstrating a creative vision for safety-critical and environmentally conscious robotic applications. His more recent investigations into biodegradable electrohydraulic actuators and stretchable electroadhesion reflect a sustained commitment to "green" soft robotics and multifunctional material systems. With work extending into aerial robotics and variable-stiffness dielectric actuators, Piskarev's research portfolio reveals a uniquely interdisciplinary approach that bridges materials science, mechanical engineering, and robotics.
