About

Dr. Mayuka Hori is a rising leader in soft robotics and advanced materials, whose work centers on the scalable fabrication of liquid metal (LM) sensors for multimodal perception. Her most-cited paper, "Printed Bilayer Liquid Metal Soft Sensors for Strain and Tactile Perception in Soft Robotics" (2023, 18 citations), introduces a breakthrough bilayer design—combining oxidized LM paste with bare LM—that overcomes long-standing challenges in printable, stretchable electronics. This innovation enables simultaneous strain monitoring and self-powered tactile detection, directly addressing critical needs in soft robotic proprioception and human-machine interaction. Dr. Hori’s contributions are notable for their practical impact: her printing method offers a scalable, cost-effective route to integrating soft sensors into real-world robotic systems. With her work already garnering attention in the field, she is establishing herself as a key figure in the development of next-generation, skin-like sensing platforms. Her research promises to advance applications from wearable health monitors to adaptive robotic grippers, making her a researcher to watch in the rapidly evolving landscape of soft matter engineering.
