About
Jichen Li is a rising leader in surgical robotics, with a focused expertise in developing novel flexible manipulators and robotic systems for minimally invasive surgery. His major contributions center on advancing transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) and transoral surgical procedures, where he has designed and optimized dexterous, multi-degree-of-freedom instruments that overcome the limitations of traditional rigid tools. Notably, his work on a ball-and-socket flexible manipulator (2023, 22 citations) introduces a bio-inspired joint that achieves exceptional torsional stability, while his DNA-inspired continuum joint (2025, 3 citations) mimics molecular structures to enhance compression and flexibility in endoscopic instruments. Li’s systematic reviews (2025) further consolidate the state of the art in robotic systems for transoral and transanal quasi-single-port surgery, providing critical roadmaps for future innovation. With a growing citation impact and a portfolio of high-concept designs, Li is shaping the next generation of surgical robots that promise safer, more precise, and less invasive interventions.
