About

Yiqun Xu is pioneering the frontier of soft robotics through the development of high-speed, stretchable logic systems. Their research centers on soft materials engineering and reconfigurable electronics, with a key focus on overcoming the fundamental speed limitations that have constrained soft logic devices. Xu’s most cited work, "Soft reconfigurable logic gates with high-frequency electrical switching" (2025), introduces a breakthrough approach that enables soft logic gates to operate at frequencies far exceeding the conventional sub-5 hertz barrier. By engineering soft electric switches, Xu has demonstrated that macroscopic soft robots can now perform rapid, complex computations without sacrificing flexibility or stretchability. This innovation bridges the critical gap between rigid electronics and fully soft systems, opening new possibilities for autonomous soft robots in dynamic environments. With their work already garnering early citations and attention, Yiqun Xu is establishing themselves as a rising leader in the quest to make soft robotics truly fast, functional, and field-deployable.
