About
Dr. Zhan Duan is a leading researcher in the field of intelligent sensing systems, with a primary focus on electronic skins (e-skins) and tactile sensors for advanced human-robot collaboration (HRC). His work addresses a critical challenge in robotics: creating sensors that can simultaneously perceive multiple stimuli—such as pressure, temperature, and proximity—with minimal signal interference. Dr. Duan’s most cited work, “Integrated Multifunctional Electronic Skins with Low‐Coupling for Complicated and Accurate Human–Robot Collaboration” (2023, 48 citations), introduces a vertically integrated e-skin architecture that decouples sensing modalities, enabling robots to interact safely and precisely with humans. He further advanced the field with a universal theoretical model for hybrid proximity-contact force sensors (2022) and a dual-function tactile sensor that linearly detects pressure and temperature at low coupling (2023, 10+ citations). His recent development of flexible ultrasonic sensors for proximity detection (2024) offers a robust alternative to vision-based systems, overcoming light-blockage issues in close HRC. With over 85 cumulative citations across his top papers, Dr. Duan’s innovations are pivotal for next-generation compliant robot control, making him a key contributor to safer, more intuitive human-machine interfaces.
