About
Zhongtan Zhang is pioneering the integration of flexible sensing and soft robotics, with a focus on creating multifunctional sensors that mimic human tactile perception for advanced robotic applications. His research spans stretchable ultrasonic transducer arrays, dual-mode pressure and distance sensors, and aquatic force-sensing systems—all designed to enhance robotic grasping and manipulation in complex environments. Zhang’s most cited work, a 2023 paper on a highly sensitive stretchable ultrasonic transducer array (13 citations), introduces a 3×3 array of 1-3 composites for detecting internal characteristics under curved surfaces, enabling robots to “feel” beneath the surface. His 2024 and 2025 papers on flexible dual-mode sensors (12 citations each) achieve accurate contact pressure sensing alongside contactless distance detection, while his 2025 study on an iontronic-based tri-axis force sensor array (8 citations) overcomes high hydraulic pressure challenges for underwater robotic gripping. Notably, his natural-force-driven fabrication method for multifunctional sensors (2025, 4 citations) leverages evaporation and gravity to simplify production. With over 50 total citations and growing, Zhang’s work is shaping the future of soft robotics, tactile sensing, and underwater exploration—making him a rising leader in flexible electronics for intelligent machines.
