On June 29, 2026, Prof. Song Aiguo from Southeast University was invited to visit the Institute of New Concept Sensors and Molecular Materials at Shaanxi Normal University, where he presented a report titled “Flexible Tactile Sensor Technology and Applications for Robots”.

Prof. Song provided an overview of the current state of development and future prospects of flexible tactile sensor technology for robots, discussed the classification and performance characteristics of flexible tactile sensors, including piezoresistive, capacitive, piezoelectric, and optical types, and analyzed key technologies and development trends in this field and, drawing on his team’s representative research achievements in recent years, introduced typical applications and related products of flexible tactile sensors in areas such as human-computer interaction, healthcare, and smart manufacturing.

During the Q&A session, Prof. Song discussed with faculty and students in attendance on topics such as the application scenarios of flexible tactile sensors, signal processing methods, sensitive materials, and future development directions, and answered their questions.

The session was moderated by vice dean Prof. Ding Liping, and attended by more than 30 faculty members and students from the institute and the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering.
