Title: Zhi Yu Liu and Optical Soft-Skin Sensing
Introduction
Zhi Yu Liu is an inventor associated with The University of Hong Kong. His patent work includes an optical soft-skin system designed to support multimodal sensing.
Latest Patents
Liu is named on 1 patent: “Optical Soft Skin System for Multimodal Sensing.” The invention uses a flexible waveguide substrate whose light propagation changes in response to different deformation patterns. A light source sends light through the substrate, and a light receptor measures the light after it passes through. A processor then uses a computational model to interpret the resulting data and determine sensing information, such as strain or displacement.
Career Highlights
The patent reflects work at the intersection of optical sensing, flexible materials, and computational analysis. The system is designed to detect physical changes in a soft substrate by interpreting changes in transmitted light.
Collaborations
Liu’s listed coworkers include Ka Wai Kwok and Kui Wang. His institutional affiliation is The University of Hong Kong.
Conclusion
Zhi Yu Liu’s patent describes an optical approach to multimodal sensing that combines a flexible waveguide, light-based measurements, and computational interpretation.
