About

Dr. Yi-Rong Liou is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of tactile sensing, robotics, and biomechanics, with a particular focus on enhancing the stability and safety of bipedal locomotion. His primary contributions involve the development of innovative flexible tactile sensor arrays and their integration into robotic control systems. Liou’s most impactful work, a 2012 paper on a detection system for incident slippage and friction coefficient using a flexible tactile sensor with structural electrodes, has garnered 38 citations, underscoring its significance in the field. This research provides a critical foundation for enabling robots to perceive and react to surface conditions in real time. In related studies, he developed a \(3 \times 5\) flexible piezoelectric tactile sensor array for foot pressure mapping in biped robots, a key tool for calculating the zero moment point (ZMP) to maintain balance on uneven terrain. Additionally, his work on gait detection-based stable locomotion control systems further advances the practical deployment of biped robots in complex environments. Through these contributions, Liou has helped bridge the gap between tactile sensing and autonomous robotic control, paving the way for more adaptive and resilient humanoid robots.
