About
Penghao Dong is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of soft robotics, haptics, and human-machine interaction. His work centers on developing next-generation tactile and actuation technologies that bridge the gap between digital systems and physical sensation. Dong’s major contributions include the creation of multimodal 5-DOF stretchable electromagnetic actuators for haptic information delivery (11 citations), which enable nuanced touch feedback for VR/AR and prosthetics. He also developed highly sensitive, robust soft tri-axial tactile sensors using dual inductive sensing mechanisms (7 citations), allowing real-time detection of both normal and shear forces—a critical advance for robotic tactile perception. In parallel, Dong explores silent speech interfaces, decoding muscular biopotential signals to enable efficient human-robot collaborations (5 citations), and has designed thermally responsive, spatially programmable soft actuators using grayscale UV processing (4 citations). His multi-tasking model for speaker-keyword classification (7 citations) further demonstrates his versatility in keeping humans in the loop during drone-assisted inspection. With a growing portfolio of highly cited works, Dong is shaping the future of intuitive, soft, and responsive human-machine systems.
