About
Minyi Sun is a leading researcher in the field of surgical robotics, with a primary focus on the control and actuation of flexible instruments for minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Her key research areas include tendon-sheath mechanism (TSM) modeling, hysteresis compensation, and sensorless control strategies for flexible surgical robots. Sun’s most notable contribution is the development of a dynamic hysteresis compensation method for TSMs that operates without distal perception, a breakthrough that addresses the critical challenge of accurate position transmission in flexible robots. This work, published in 2025 and already garnering 4 citations, tackles the tendon-elongation and route-configuration-dependent hysteresis that has long hindered precision in MIS. By enabling reliable control without the need for distal sensors, Sun’s approach significantly reduces system complexity and cost while enhancing surgical accuracy. Her research is widely recognized for its practical impact, offering a scalable solution for next-generation robotic surgery. Sun’s achievements mark her as a rising innovator in medical robotics, with her work poised to influence both academic research and clinical applications in the years ahead.
