About
Chuang Lin is pioneering the intersection of robotics and ophthalmic microsurgery, with a focused mission to enhance precision and safety in delicate eye procedures. Their research centers on developing robotic assistance for two critical surgeries: capsulorhexis (CCC) in cataract surgery and membrane peeling for retinal conditions. Lin’s major contributions include the design and evaluation of novel vision-guided hybrid robots for capsulotomy, and the creation of multifunction sensing forceps using Fiber Bragg Gratings that can simultaneously measure peeling force, scleral force, and insertion depth. This work provides the baseline data—such as surgeon hand motion, physiological tremor, and operation force—essential for designing assistive robots. With over 40 citations across their most-cited papers, Lin’s studies have quantified the acceptable position/pose error and load ability for surgical instruments, and they have developed advanced control methods like active disturbance rejection controllers for piezo-driven injectors used in retinal vein cannulation. Their notable achievements include preliminary friction estimation between forceps and cornea, and precision forceps tracking using Kalman filters, all of which lay the groundwork for automating these micron-scale procedures to prevent complications and improve surgical outcomes.
