About
Xuexin Duan is pioneering the integration of flexible sensors and acoustic manipulation into next-generation robotics and microsystems. His research centers on three key areas: tactile sensing for robotic perception, flexible temperature sensors, and acoustofluidic tweezers for micro-object control. Duan’s most impactful contribution is a multifunctional soft robotic finger that combines nanoscale flexible temperature–pressure tactile sensors, enabling material recognition through touch—a breakthrough for safer, more intelligent robotic hands. This work has garnered 109 citations, reflecting its significance in advancing robotic dexterity. He also developed a reduced graphene oxide-based temperature sensor for robot fingertips, achieving precise, wireless temperature measurement. In micro-robotics, Duan introduced acoustofluidic tweezers that use gigahertz bulk acoustic waves for dynamic 3D manipulation and assembly of microparticles, offering a non-contact method to position micro-scale objects over large distances in fluid. His achievements include demonstrating wireless data transmission from a robotic fingertip to a mobile phone and enabling the assembly of microstructures for biomedical applications. Duan’s work bridges flexible electronics and acoustic actuation, pushing the boundaries of what robots and microsystems can sense and manipulate.
