About

Dehao Wei is a leading researcher in surgical robotics and fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-based force sensing, with a focus on enhancing the tactile feedback and precision of minimally invasive surgical systems. His most notable contribution is the development of the X-Perce, a universal FBG-based force sensing kit for laparoscopic surgical robots. This innovation provides an independent contact sensing system that works in parallel with non-contact information, offering surgeons intuitive, real-time force feedback during procedures. By integrating FBG sensors into surgical tools, Wei’s work addresses a critical gap in robotic surgery—enabling more accurate tissue manipulation and reducing the risk of inadvertent damage. His 2022 paper on the X-Perce has already garnered 23 citations, reflecting its growing impact in the field. Wei’s research bridges the gap between sensor technology and clinical application, with potential to improve patient outcomes and surgical training. His work stands out for its practical, modular design, making advanced force sensing accessible for a range of robotic platforms. As a rising figure in medical robotics, Dehao Wei continues to push the boundaries of haptic feedback in surgery.
