About
Yi-Ching Ho is a pioneering researcher in the field of robotic dentistry, with a primary focus on developing intelligent robotic systems for endodontic treatment. As the lead designer of DentiBot, the first robot specifically engineered for root canal procedures, Ho has made groundbreaking contributions to dental robotics by integrating force-guided alignment and precise feedrate control mechanisms. Her work addresses the critical challenge of achieving the sub-millimeter accuracy required in delicate dental surgeries, moving beyond the existing implant-focused robotic applications. Through her two most-cited papers (2022-2023), Ho has established the foundational framework for 6-DoF hybrid position/force control in dental robotics, demonstrating how robotic assistance can enhance both the safety and precision of endodontic treatments. While her citation counts are currently modest (3 and 2 citations respectively), reflecting the emerging nature of this specialized field, her work represents a significant paradigm shift in dental surgery—potentially transforming how dentists approach complex root canal procedures. Ho's research bridges mechanical engineering, control systems, and clinical dentistry, positioning her as a key innovator in the rapidly evolving intersection of robotics and healthcare.
