About

Hung-Yu Yang is a pioneering researcher in the field of ophthalmic surgical robotics, with a focused expertise in the mechanical design and automation of systems for delicate intraocular procedures. His major contributions center on the development of the intraOcular RoBotic Interventional System (iORBIS), a groundbreaking platform featuring distally-actuated instrument insertion and automatic tool change capabilities—a critical advancement for enhancing precision and reducing surgical time in vitreoretinal surgery. Yang’s work has garnered attention, with his 2021 paper on iORBIS accumulating 9 citations, reflecting its foundational impact. He has further advanced the field by analyzing key parameters in subretinal injection (SRI) to facilitate predictable, robot-assisted treatments for gene therapy, addressing the optimization of bleb formation for improved therapeutic outcomes. His research bridges mechanical engineering and clinical application, offering tangible solutions for automating complex retinal surgeries. Yang’s achievements underscore his role in pushing the boundaries of surgical robotics, making him a notable figure for students and researchers interested in the intersection of robotics, ophthalmology, and precision medicine.
