About

Yuxiang Wu is an innovative researcher working at the intersection of flexible electronics, energy harvesting, and bioinspired robotics. His work centers on developing next-generation smart sensing systems that bridge mechanical motion and electrical signal processing for real-world human-machine interaction applications. Wu's most impactful contributions lie in the design of nanogenerators and self-powered sensor systems. His 2020 work on flexible and stretchable dual-mode nanogenerators, garnering 58 citations, demonstrated significant advances in rehabilitation monitoring and human-machine information interaction — a critical step toward intelligent robotic systems. Building on this foundation, his 2024 development of a fully packaged, self-powered flexible sensor array based on piezoelectrets achieved 49 citations, showcasing long-term stability for dynamic pressure monitoring in applications ranging from electronic skin to artificial prosthetics. More recently, Wu has expanded his research vision toward bioinspired robotics, exploring octopus-inspired soft robot technologies — a rapidly growing field that saw a 54% surge in publications between 2021 and 2024. With over 110 cumulative citations across his key works, Wu is establishing himself as a promising voice shaping the future of wearable electronics, self-powered sensing, and intelligent soft robotics.
