About
Cheng-Wei Chen is a robotics and surgical systems researcher whose work sits at the intersection of mechanical engineering, medical robotics, and autonomous control. Best known for his contributions to the Intraocular Robotic Interventional Surgical System (IRISS), Chen has helped advance one of the most ambitious goals in ophthalmic surgery: enabling complete, multi-step robotic procedures from start to finish. His 2017 paper on IRISS's mechanical design and master-slave manipulation has garnered over 120 citations, establishing him as a key figure in robotic eye surgery. Building on this foundation, he extended IRISS capabilities with OCT-guided semiautomated lens removal and later developed the distally-actuated iORBIS platform. Beyond ophthalmology, Chen has made notable contributions to parallel robot dynamics and control, proposing feedforward and computed torque methods that improve accuracy and stability. His work spans automatic instrument changers, motion scaling in teleoperation, hyper-redundant robot kinematics, and even dental robotics through the DentiBot system. With over 200 cumulative citations, Chen's research consistently addresses practical barriers to deploying precision robotic systems in real clinical and surgical environments, making his work highly relevant to researchers in medical robotics, control systems, and minimally invasive surgery.
