About

Yuan Jin is a leading researcher at the frontier of flexible electronics, soft robotics, and advanced manufacturing. Their work centers on developing next-generation stretchable sensors and actuators through innovative 3D printing and liquid metal printing techniques. A standout contribution is the creation of flexible pressure sensors enhanced by 3D-printed microstructures (77 citations), which dramatically improves sensitivity and durability. Jin also pioneered high-efficiency, large-area printed multilayer liquid metal wires for stretchable biomedical sensors (48 citations), introducing a scalable, recyclable approach critical for wearable tech. Further impact includes a stretchable triboelectric sensor array for real-time tactile sensing and a magnetic soft millirobot with simultaneous locomotion and sensing capabilities. Most recently, Jin developed an AI-powered, all-printed, stretchable triboelectric e-skin for multifunctional perception in dexterous robotic hands, addressing scalability and multimodal sensing challenges. With over 160 total citations and a portfolio spanning from flexible grippers to intelligent e-skins, Yuan Jin’s work is shaping the future of human-robot interaction, biomedical monitoring, and soft robotics.
