About
Lijun He is a leading researcher in soft robotics and advanced functional materials, with a primary focus on dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) and their applications in bioinspired systems. His most notable contribution is the development of a novel dielectric elastomer network incorporating large side groups, which achieves unprecedented large electroactive deformation—exceeding 20%—without the need for mechanical prestretch. This breakthrough, published in 2024 and already garnering 39 citations, directly addresses a long-standing challenge in the field: conventional elastomers either exhibit small deformation or require prestretch to function effectively. By enabling high-performance, prestretch-free DEAs, He’s work has opened new pathways for creating soft robotic grippers that are simpler, more reliable, and more adaptable. His research has significant implications for the design of next-generation soft grippers, artificial muscles, and wearable devices, where large, controllable deformation is critical. With his innovative material design and clear impact on the robotics community, Lijun He is establishing himself as a key figure in the advancement of soft actuation technologies.
