About

Hoi Pang Ng is a pioneering researcher in the field of surgical robotics, with a focused expertise in minimally invasive and single-port abdominal surgery. His most notable contribution is the development of a novel robotic platform designed to enhance the precision and dexterity of single-port procedures. In his landmark 2018 paper, Ng introduced a miniaturized, seven-degree-of-freedom robotic arm that is fully internalized and actuated in-vivo, allowing for a significantly smaller external footprint while still generating a robust 20 N of gripping force. This innovation addresses critical challenges in surgical access and patient trauma, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in confined surgical spaces. Although his work is still gaining recognition, with his key paper accumulating 3 citations to date, the foundational nature of his design promises substantial impact as the field of single-port robotics matures. Ng’s research stands at the intersection of mechanical engineering and clinical application, offering a scalable solution that could redefine standards for future robotic-assisted surgeries.
