About

Bao Yang is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of smart textiles, wearable electronics, and soft robotics. Their most influential work, “Smart Textile‐Integrated Microelectronic Systems for Wearable Applications” (785 citations), established foundational frameworks for embedding microelectronics into programmable fabrics, enabling integration with artificial intelligence and augmented reality. Yang’s innovations extend to wireless, multistimulus-responsive fabric actuators (42 citations) that eliminate physical connections for human-machine interfaces and biomedical applications. Notably, Yang also contributed to surgical robotics, reporting on robotic gastrectomy and colectomy using the da Vinci system, demonstrating the safety and feasibility of robotic-assisted procedures for gastric and colon cancers. Their recent work on flexible electroadhesive clutches (4 citations) advances low-voltage, high-performance components for wearable systems. With a career spanning both soft material systems and clinical surgical robotics, Yang’s research bridges fundamental materials science with practical medical and wearable technologies, offering transformative solutions for next-generation interactive and assistive devices.
