About
Dr. Genlai Zhang is a rising figure in the field of surgical robotics, with a focused research interest in ophthalmic interventions. His most notable work addresses the critical challenge of performing intraocular injections for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of vision loss. Dr. Zhang’s key contribution is the development of a novel control strategy that enforces a Remote-Center-of-Motion (RCM) constraint for robotic systems. This innovation is designed to enhance the precision and safety of intraocular injections, a procedure traditionally performed manually and increasingly strained by a growing patient population. By enabling a robot to automatically maintain a fulcrum point at the entry site into the eye, his work directly tackles the risks of tissue damage and improves procedural consistency. While his 2022 paper has garnered early citations, signaling its relevance to the robotics community, Dr. Zhang’s work represents a significant step toward automating delicate ophthalmic surgeries, promising to alleviate the burden on clinicians and improve outcomes for patients suffering from AMD.
