About

Amy Chi is a rising leader in the field of surgical robotics and haptic feedback, with a focused research agenda aimed at bridging the gap between human dexterity and robotic precision. Her most-cited work, "Wrist-Squeezing Force Feedback Improves Accuracy and Speed in Robotic Surgery Training" (2022, 8 citations), tackles a critical limitation in robotic minimally invasive surgery (RMIS): the absence of haptic feedback. By demonstrating that wrist-squeezing force feedback significantly enhances both the accuracy and speed of surgical trainees, Chi has provided a tangible, low-cost solution to a long-standing problem in RMIS training. This contribution is pivotal for improving tissue manipulation gentleness and reducing the steep learning curve for surgeons. Though early in her career, Chi’s work has already garnered attention for its practical impact on surgical education and patient safety. Her research stands out for its direct translational potential, offering a clear path toward safer, more intuitive robotic surgery systems. As she continues to explore the intersection of haptics, human factors, and surgical technology, Amy Chi is poised to become a key innovator in making robotic surgery more accessible and effective for the next generation of surgeons.
