About

Ehn Pow is a pioneering researcher in the field of dental robotics, focusing on the development of compact, cable-driven robotic systems designed to assist in a wide range of dental procedures. Their major contributions include the invention of a soft bracing technique and a customizable robotic manipulator that can be tele-operated via haptic devices, enabling precise motion scaling for tasks such as operative caries removal, crown preparation, and orthodontia. Pow’s work addresses the critical shortage of dental professionals by automating time-consuming manual procedures, with their most-cited paper, "A Compact Dental Robotic System Using Soft Bracing Technique" (2019), garnering 38 citations. This work highlights the potential for robotic assistance to enhance precision and reduce operator fatigue in dentistry. Additionally, their 2018 paper on a customizable manipulator (20 citations) and 2019 work on control and motion scaling (6 citations) further demonstrate their impact in advancing minimally invasive dental interventions. Pow’s research stands out for its practical applicability and innovative use of tendon-sheath mechanisms, positioning them as a key figure in bridging robotics and clinical dentistry.
