About
Xiaoyan Xiong is a rising innovator in the field of soft robotics and flexible electronics, with a research focus on bioinspired sensors and actuators. Her major contributions center on developing multimodal, stretchable sensors that overcome fundamental limitations in distinguishing between different mechanical stimuli. In her most cited work, she introduced a liquid metal interdigitated capacitive strain sensor that achieves normal stress insensitivity—a critical breakthrough for human–machine interfaces and electronic skins, where separating stretch from pressure is essential. This work has garnered 62 citations, reflecting its significance in the field. Xiong also explores bioinspired design principles, as seen in her development of a serpent-inspired multimodal flexible sensor using PVDF-TrFE/Fe3O4 nanofibers and a bistable dielectric elastomer actuator inspired by rhododendron leaves. Her diverse portfolio includes path planning for robotic surface inspection, demonstrating her versatility across sensing, actuation, and automation. With a growing body of work that merges materials science, mechanics, and robotics, Xiong is establishing herself as a creative force in next-generation soft systems.
