About

Dr. Yiang Cheng is a pioneering researcher in bioinspired electronic skins and soft robotics, with a focus on proximity and pressure sensing for human-robot interaction. Their most-cited work, "Bioinspired electronic-skin for proximity and pressure detection in robot active sensing" (2024, 6 citations), draws inspiration from weakly electric fish to develop a flexible e-skin that detects electric fields for dual-mode sensing. This innovation enables robots to perceive objects before contact, enhancing safety and precision in collaborative tasks. Dr. Cheng’s contributions bridge biology and engineering, offering scalable solutions for tactile and non-contact sensing in autonomous systems. Their research has been recognized for its potential in prosthetics, industrial automation, and assistive robotics. By integrating distributed electroreceptors into soft materials, Dr. Cheng advances the field of active sensing, paving the way for more intuitive and adaptive machines. Their work continues to influence the design of next-generation sensor arrays, with applications ranging from smart manufacturing to healthcare.
