About
Dr. Haishan Pei is advancing the frontier of surgical robotics through pioneering work on continuum manipulators—flexible, snake-like robots designed to navigate the tight, unstructured spaces of the human body. His research centers on the kinematics, motion planning, and control of these dexterous instruments, with a primary application in minimally invasive surgery. Dr. Pei’s major contributions include the development of a novel cable-driven flexible endoscope robot for diagnosis and treatment, as well as a continuum manipulator featuring mortise and tenon joints, for which he derived a geometric kinematics model and a statics-based control method to enhance precision in narrow environments. His most cited work, “Kinematics analysis, motion planning and control of the continuum manipulator in minimally invasive surgery” (2023, 5 citations), and the closely related “Design and analysis of a continuum manipulator for use in narrow spaces” (2023, 3 citations), have established foundational frameworks for improving the safety and control of these robots. By addressing the core challenges of flexibility and accurate movement in constrained spaces, Dr. Pei is helping to make next-generation surgical tools more reliable and effective for complex clinical procedures.
