About

Chung-Kun Yen is a leading researcher in flexible electronics and rehabilitation robotics, whose work bridges materials science and biomedical engineering. His most impactful contributions include the development of a flexible piezoresistive tactile sensor based on polymeric nanocomposites with a grid-type microstructure, a 2021 paper that has garnered 40 citations. This sensor achieves exceptional sensitivity in the low-pressure range through uniform nanoparticle dispersion, advancing applications in wearable haptics and human-machine interfaces. Yen also pioneered multi-axis motor control systems for lower limb robotic exoskeletons, detailed in his 2018 work with 18 citations, where he designed an adjustable aluminum alloy exoskeleton driven by four Maxon brushless DC motors. This system enhances mobility assistance for individuals with lower-limb impairments, demonstrating precise, coordinated control. With a cumulative citation count exceeding 58, Yen’s research has significantly impacted soft robotics and assistive technology. His notable achievements include integrating nanocomposite materials with structural engineering to solve real-world sensing and actuation challenges, positioning him as a key innovator in next-generation wearable systems.
