About
Yaqi Sun is a researcher focused on power electronics for soft robotics, particularly the design of high-voltage converters for dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs). Their key contributions lie in developing bidirectional, high step-up active clamp flyback converters that enable efficient charging and discharging of capacitive DEA materials—critical for achieving rapid deformation and recovery in soft robotic systems. Sun’s work addresses the challenge of driving DEAs, which require voltages up to several thousand volts, by proposing novel converter topologies that improve energy efficiency and reliability. Though early in their career, with their most-cited paper accumulating 2 citations, Sun’s research holds significant potential for advancing soft robotics applications, where precise, high-voltage control is essential. Their notable achievement includes the analysis and design of a converter tailored specifically for DEA drive requirements, bridging the gap between power electronics and emerging soft actuator technologies. As the field grows, Sun’s work is poised to impact the development of more responsive and practical soft robotic systems.
