About
Fusong Yuan is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, laser technology, and dental medicine, whose work has fundamentally advanced the automation of oral healthcare procedures. His research primarily focuses on robotic tooth preparation systems, ultrashort pulse laser (USPL) applications in dentistry, and surgical robotics for oral and maxillofacial surgery. Yuan's most influential contribution is the development of an automatic tooth preparation robotic system that integrates femtosecond and picosecond lasers with three-dimensional motion planning software, replacing imprecise manual dental techniques with highly accurate, computer-controlled procedures. His landmark 2016 paper validating this approach has accumulated 38 citations, with subsequent studies further refining laser parameters, heat regulation, and taper control. Beyond dentistry, Yuan has expanded into surgical robotics, designing a novel single-arm stapling robot and an automated suturing system with compact visual navigation for the spatially constrained oral cavity. His contributions span over a decade, from early miniature robotic prototypes in 2013 to sophisticated navigation algorithms in 2024, collectively garnering over 140 citations. Yuan's body of work represents a transformative vision for precision-driven, autonomous dental and surgical care, offering significant clinical implications for patient safety and procedural consistency.
