About
Zhibin Fan is a rising researcher at the forefront of surgical robotics, with a focused expertise in haptic shared control and teleoperation systems for delicate medical procedures. His primary research areas include human-robot interaction, control barrier functions, and artificial potential field methods, all applied to enhance the safety and precision of robot-assisted retinal surgery. Fan’s major contributions center on developing novel frameworks that intelligently blend surgeon commands with autonomous robotic constraints. His 2024 paper on a shared control method using artificial potential fields (7 citations) introduced tubular guidance constraints to improve safety in enclosed surgical spaces. Building on this, his 2025 work on a haptic shared control framework with interaction force constraints (5 citations) leverages control barrier functions to prevent excessive tool-to-tissue forces, directly addressing a critical risk of patient injury. Though early in his career, Fan’s work has already garnered attention for its practical impact on ophthalmic microsurgery, where millimeter precision is paramount. His research promises to make complex retinal procedures safer and more accessible, marking him as a notable innovator in the next generation of surgical robotics.
