About
Fangyu Zhao is a rising innovator in the field of bioinspired flexible electronics and intelligent robotic systems. Their research focuses on developing multi-functional sensory skins and wearable devices that bridge the gap between biological perception and machine intelligence. In a landmark 2025 study, Zhao designed a bionic flapping-wing smart skin that integrates flexible strain, temperature, humidity, and gas sensors—mimicking the body surface receptors of flying organisms. By leveraging the mechanical robustness and biodegradability of fibroin protein, this work enables environment sensing and attitude monitoring for flapping-wing robotics, representing a significant step toward truly autonomous biohybrid drones. Complementing this, Zhao engineered a multi-functional flexible intelligent glove that combines artificial tactile and olfactory sensor arrays. Using a convolutional neural network for sensor fusion, the glove achieves simultaneous gesture recognition and combustible gas detection, with applications ranging from human augmentation to humanoid robotics. Though early in their career, Zhao’s contributions have already garnered attention, with their most-cited papers accumulating 3 citations. Their work stands at the forefront of soft robotics and wearable sensing, promising safer, more perceptive machines that interact seamlessly with the natural world.
