About
Linqi Ye is a robotics researcher whose work spans tactile sensing, robotic manipulation, and legged locomotion — areas where perception and physical interaction converge to push the boundaries of autonomous robot capabilities. Ye's most significant contributions lie in developing advanced tactile and visuotactile sensing systems that enable robots to operate in challenging, low-visibility environments. The 2023 visual-tactile fusion framework for transparent object grasping, now cited 64 times, exemplifies this direction by elegantly combining vision and touch to tackle one of manipulation's most persistent challenges. Building on this foundation, Ye introduced the TaTa jamming gripper (35 citations) for underwater manipulation and the JamTac soft gripper for dark environments, demonstrating a consistent commitment to bridging sensory gaps where conventional vision alone fails. The 2024 M³Tac multispectral multimodal visuotactile sensor further advances this vision with beyond-human sensory capabilities. Parallel to manipulation research, Ye has made meaningful contributions to quadruped locomotion, developing hierarchical control frameworks, stair-climbing gaits, and perception-limited navigation strategies for complex 3D environments. Across more than a decade of research, Ye's work reflects a coherent vision: equipping robots with rich, multimodal perception to thrive where human-like dexterity and adaptability are most demanded.
