About

Dr. Xuan Yan is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of soft robotics and intelligent control systems, whose work bridges bioinspired materials science with autonomous aerial vehicle dynamics. Yan’s most impactful contribution to date is the development of a high-sensitivity flexible pressure sensor based on a polydimethylsiloxane-reduced graphene oxide (PDMS@rGO) composite, featuring a bioinspired gradient hierarchical structure with coplanar electrodes. Published in 2023, this work has already garnered 36 citations for achieving an ultra-wide working range without sacrificing sensitivity—a critical breakthrough for wearable electronics and human-machine interfaces. In parallel, Yan addresses fundamental challenges in aerial robotics through advanced control theory. Their 2024 study on observer-based adaptive nonsingular fast-reaching terminal sliding mode control provides a robust solution for actuator faults and uncertain disturbances in drone systems, while earlier work on mobile robot path planning (2019) tackled time-constrained navigation in complex multi-obstacle environments. By combining materials innovation with control system resilience, Yan is shaping the next generation of adaptive robotic platforms capable of operating safely in unpredictable real-world conditions.
