About
Haoran Yi is a leading researcher in robotic-assisted retinal microsurgery, specializing in the development of miniature force sensors and haptic control systems for intraocular procedures. Their major contributions include the design of a micro-3-degree-of-freedom (DOF) force sensor, measuring just 3.8 mm, which enables precise force sensing during delicate operations like retinal vein cannulation (RVC). This innovation, published in 2023, has already garnered 23 citations, highlighting its significance in advancing surgical robotics. Yi also developed a robotic microforceps with an adaptive clamping method for epiretinal membrane peel surgery, addressing the challenge of operating within the eye’s narrow confines. Their recent work on a haptic shared control framework, incorporating control barrier functions to constrain interaction forces, represents a critical step toward safer teleoperated retinal surgery, with 5 citations since 2025. By integrating 3D printing technology and continuum manipulators, Yi has enabled high-precision, flexible robotic tools that reduce patient injury risk. Their research, supported by notable achievements like the design of intraocular continuum robots with force sensing, positions them as a key innovator in surgical robotics, with a growing impact on clinical safety and efficacy.
