Haipeng Liang

About

Haipeng Liang is a leading researcher in the development of MR-safe robotic systems for minimally invasive surgery, with a particular focus on prostate interventions. His work addresses the critical challenge of creating actuators and robots that can operate safely and effectively within the high magnetic field of an MRI scanner, enabling real-time, high-resolution imaging guidance during procedures. Liang’s major contributions include the design of novel non-magnetic actuators, such as the cycloidal stepper motor and pneumatic stepper motors, which are foundational for MR-conditional robotics. His 2022 paper on the cycloidal stepper motor has garnered 14 citations, establishing a systematic design approach for rotary actuators in this niche field. He has also developed complete robotic systems for transperineal prostate biopsy and therapy, as detailed in his 2024 work on a pneumatic-driven MRI-guided robot. With over 30 total citations across his most-cited papers, Liang’s research is pivotal in bridging the gap between robotic precision and the diagnostic power of MRI, offering safer, more accurate solutions for cancer diagnosis and treatment.
