About

Yihao Chen is a leading researcher in flexible and bioinspired electronics, with a primary focus on developing skin-like sensors for healthcare and soft robotics. His most impactful work, "Breathable and Stretchable Temperature Sensors Inspired by Skin" (2015, 297 citations), introduced a groundbreaking strategy for biocompatible, skin-inspired temperature sensors that address critical challenges in epidermal electronics—namely, breathability and adaptability to the skin’s perspiring environment. This work has significantly advanced the field of wearable health monitoring. Chen has also contributed to the development of ultra-thin, skin-like solid electronics (2018, 3 citations) and, most recently, 3D-assembled bionic tactile sensing “skin” for soft machines (2024, 2 citations), which enhances environmental awareness in bionic soft robotics. His research on ankle rehabilitation robots (2019, 10 citations) further demonstrates his commitment to practical medical applications. By merging bioinspiration with materials engineering, Chen’s work continues to push the boundaries of flexible electronics, offering promising solutions for clinical diagnosis, motion control, and human-machine interfaces.
