About
Gang Li is a pioneering roboticist whose research focuses on developing advanced robotic systems for MRI-guided minimally invasive surgery. His major contributions lie in creating fully actuated, MRI-compatible robots that enable unprecedented precision in procedures such as prostate biopsy, brain tumor ablation, and low back pain injections. Li’s work integrates cutting-edge technologies, including Fabry-Perot interferometry force sensors, pneumatic haptic devices, and piezoelectric actuation, to provide real-time haptic feedback and closed-loop targeting under continuous intraoperative MRI guidance. His most cited paper, “An MRI-Guided Telesurgery System Using a Fabry-Perot Interferometry Force Sensor and a Pneumatic Haptic Device” (72 citations), exemplifies his impact, while his system for in-bore prostate transperineal interventions (55 citations) and concentric tube continuum robot (51 citations) are widely recognized. Notably, Li has achieved clinical translation, with his robotic system for transperineal prostate biopsy undergoing preliminary clinical evaluation (46 citations). His work on a fully actuated robotic assistant for precision conformal ablation of brain tumors (43 citations) further underscores his role in advancing neurosurgical oncology. With over 400 total citations across his portfolio, Li is a leader in MRI-guided interventional robotics.
