About
Haitao Huo is a leading researcher in surgical robotics and fiber-optic sensing, with a focus on enhancing the haptic feedback capabilities of minimally invasive surgical systems. His primary research areas include force sensing for laparoscopic robots, fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor integration, and the development of universal sensing platforms for robotic surgery. Huo’s most notable contribution is the creation of the X-Perce, a groundbreaking FBG-based force sensing kit designed for laparoscopic surgical robots. This system provides an independent contact sensing channel that complements non-contact visual information, offering surgeons intuitive force feedback during procedures. The X-Perce, detailed in his 2022 paper with 23 citations, represents a significant step toward safer and more precise robotic surgery by enabling real-time force measurement at the instrument tip. Huo’s work bridges the gap between sensor technology and clinical application, addressing a critical need in surgical robotics for reliable, miniaturized force sensors. His research continues to influence the design of next-generation surgical tools, making him a key figure in advancing haptic feedback systems for medical robotics.
