About
Yukai Hung is a rising innovator in human-robot interaction and shape-changing interfaces, whose work reimagines how robots can be both functional and unobtrusive. His primary research centers on developing thin, card-shaped robots that combine locomotion with haptic feedback, enabling new forms of tangible interaction. In his most cited work, "CARDinality: Interactive Card-shaped Robots with Locomotion and Haptics using Vibration" (2024, 8 citations), Hung introduces a system of flat, vibration-driven robots with on-device sensing and wireless control. This contribution is notable for its elegant fusion of minimal form factor with rich interactive capabilities—allowing robots to move, communicate, and provide tactile feedback in ways previously confined to bulkier devices. By leveraging the familiar shape of a card, Hung opens doors for portable, scalable robotic swarms and embedded haptic interfaces. His work has already garnered attention for its creativity and practicality, positioning him as a key voice in the next generation of soft, interactive robotics. For students and researchers, Hung’s approach exemplifies how constraints in design can spark breakthroughs in functionality and user experience.
