About

Ying-Han Wang is a leading researcher in flexible electronics and human-machine interaction, with a primary focus on developing advanced proximity and tactile sensing systems for intelligent manufacturing. Wang’s most cited work, "Electronic skin based on flexible capacitor" (2020), introduces a novel capacitive electronic skin designed to enhance the safety of human-robot collaboration. This contribution addresses a critical challenge in Industry 4.0: enabling robots to perceive their surroundings through flexible, skin-like sensors that detect proximity and contact. By integrating capacitive sensing into a pliable substrate, Wang’s design allows machines to “feel” nearby humans, preventing collisions and enabling intuitive interaction. Though early in its citation impact (3 citations), the work represents a foundational step toward safer, more responsive automation. Wang’s research bridges materials science, sensor engineering, and robotics, offering practical solutions for real-time environmental awareness. This work has implications for collaborative robots, prosthetics, and wearable safety systems. As the field of electronic skin rapidly expands, Wang’s contributions are poised to influence next-generation human-machine interfaces, emphasizing both functionality and user protection in increasingly automated environments.
