About

Baochun Guo is a leading figure in the field of flexible electronics, with a primary focus on advancing tactile sensing systems from theoretical concepts to real-world applications. His most cited work, "Flexible Tactile Sensing Systems: Challenges in Theoretical Research Transferring to Practical Applications" (2025), has already garnered 21 citations, reflecting its timely and critical impact. In this comprehensive review, Guo traces the evolution of tactile sensors from their inception in 1982 through four transformative phases: industrial pressure detection in the 1980s, MEMS-driven miniaturization in the 1990s, the rise of stretchable flexible electronics in the 2010s, and the current era of intelligent systems. His major contribution lies in systematically identifying and addressing the persistent gap between laboratory-based theoretical advances and commercially viable, robust sensing platforms. By mapping the challenges of material durability, signal fidelity, and scalable fabrication, Guo provides a roadmap for bridging this divide. His work is essential reading for students and researchers aiming to translate cutting-edge flexible sensor designs into practical, deployable technologies for robotics, healthcare, and human-machine interfaces.
