About
Yongwen Zhu is a researcher advancing the field of robotic tactile perception through innovative optical fiber sensing technologies. His primary research areas include fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors, soft robotics, and human-robot interaction, with a focus on developing conformal, skin-integrated sensing systems that enhance robotic dexterity and feedback. His most-cited work, "A Fingertip Optical Fiber Composite Sensor With Conformal Design for Robotic Perception of Tactile Force" (2024, 9 citations), introduces a novel fingertip sensor that integrates FBG elements for simultaneous three-axis force and joint position measurement. By threading the sensor inside a skinned fingertip cap, Zhu’s design achieves seamless, conformal integration—enabling robots to perceive tactile forces with high sensitivity and structural simplicity. This contribution is pivotal for intelligent robotic manipulation and safe human-robot collaboration. Though early in his citation trajectory, Zhu’s work demonstrates strong potential for impact in soft robotics and wearable haptics. His achievements highlight a promising direction for merging optical fiber sensing with bio-inspired robotic design, offering a scalable pathway toward more intuitive and responsive robotic systems.
