About
Zhi‑mei Qi is a leading innovator in flexible tactile sensing and bioinspired micro‑acoustic devices, whose work bridges soft robotics, human–machine interaction, and biomimetic engineering. His core research focuses on developing high‑performance electronic skin sensors capable of detecting three‑dimensional forces, and on miniaturized microphones that mimic the directional hearing of the parasitic fly *Ormia ochracea* for precise sound‑source localization. Qi’s most influential contribution is the design of a flexible tactile electronic skin based on porous CNTs/PDMS nanocomposites, which achieves both high sensitivity and a wide sensing range for 3D force detection—a paper that has garnered 223 citations and set a benchmark in the field. He has further advanced this technology with a three‑axis pressure sensor array tailored for robotic grasping feedback, demonstrating real‑world utility in dexterous manipulation. On the acoustic side, his optical beam deflection MEMS biomimetic microphone enables wide‑range sound localization in a compact form factor. With over 230 combined citations and a trajectory of continuous innovation, Qi’s work is shaping the future of intelligent tactile interfaces and bioinspired sensing systems.
