About
Lining Sun is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of flexible electronics, human-machine interaction, and robotics, whose work has garnered over 670 citations across a diverse and impactful body of research. Sun's most celebrated contributions center on triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) technology, where his team developed self-powered wearable sensors capable of serving as intuitive 3D motion control interfaces for robotic manipulators — a landmark 2018 paper that earned over 225 citations. His research extends into flexible tactile sensing arrays for robotic skin, hierarchical pressure sensors, and multifunctional electronic skins that combine physical sensing with real-time visual feedback for robot safety applications. Beyond soft sensing, Sun has made notable contributions to industrial robotics, including a kinematic calibration method that significantly improves absolute positioning accuracy and a force-control-based robotic grinding system with direct industrial applications. His 2020 work integrating augmented reality into surgical navigation systems further demonstrates his interdisciplinary reach into medical technology. Collectively, Sun's research bridges nanoscale energy harvesting, advanced sensing, and intelligent robotic systems, making him a highly influential figure for students exploring next-generation human-robot interfaces and smart manufacturing.
