About

Xuexian Chen is a pioneering researcher in the field of bioinspired flexible electronics and micro-robotics, with a focus on developing self-powered sensory systems and submillimeter-scale machines. Their major contributions include the creation of a hybrid porous microstructured electronic skin inspired by human fingerprints, capable of pressure sensing and sliding detection—a breakthrough for prosthetic and robotic applications. Chen’s work on submillimeter-scale multimaterial terrestrial robots, with 136 citations, has opened new avenues for minimally invasive surgery and cellular manipulation, demonstrating unprecedented miniaturization and material diversity. Additionally, their microsphere-assisted epidermal strain gauge, cited 30 times, enables robust static and dynamic gesture recognition, while their stretchable, transparent sensors and self-powered 3D motion sensors advance wearable technology for health monitoring and human-machine interaction. With over 340 total citations across key publications, Chen’s research integrates triboelectric nanogenerators, nanostructured materials, and biomimetic design, earning recognition for pushing the boundaries of smart skins and autonomous microsystems. Their innovative fingerprint-inspired triboelectric sliding sensor further exemplifies their ability to translate biological principles into practical, high-impact sensing solutions.
