About
Zhengbao Yang is a leading figure in soft robotics and tactile sensing, renowned for pioneering bio-inspired electronic skins and multifunctional soft machines. His research centers on developing intelligent materials and systems that replicate the sophisticated sensing and actuation capabilities of biological organisms. Yang’s major contributions include the invention of a soft magnetic skin that achieves super-resolution tactile sensing with force self-decoupling (522 citations), enabling robots to perceive subtle normal and shear forces with unprecedented resolution. He also developed a skin-inspired piezoelectric tactile sensor array with crosstalk-free electrodes (377 citations) for spatiotemporally distinguishing diverse stimuli, and a battery-less soft millirobot that can move, sense, and communicate remotely by coupling magnetic and piezoelectric effects (116 citations). His work on intrinsically stretchable lead zirconate titanate elastomer for high-throughput fabrication of electronic skin (60 citations) and tough soldering for stretchable electronics (42 citations) further demonstrates his impact. Yang’s innovations have profound implications for prosthetics, human-machine interfaces, and biomedical devices, establishing him as a transformative force in soft robotics and tactile perception.
