About
Hyo-Jeong Cha is a leading researcher in medical robotics, specializing in vascular intervention and magnetically controlled soft microrobots. Her most impactful contribution is a magnetically controlled soft microrobot capable of steering a guidewire through a three-dimensional phantom vascular network, a breakthrough for treating disseminated intravascular coagulation that has garnered 291 citations. Cha has also pioneered master-slave robotic systems for catheter and guidewire driving, significantly reducing X-ray exposure for both operators and patients during vascular procedures—work cited 60 times. Her 2019 study on steerable catheters with haptic feedback for a 5-DOF vascular intervention robot system (48 citations) further advances procedural safety and precision. Beyond vascular applications, Cha has explored robotic systems for non-invasive brain stimulation, enhancing precision and safety through Stewart platform and RCM mechanisms. Her research integrates soft robotics, haptic feedback, and parallel manipulators, with notable works on needle steering and workspace analysis for DELTA robots. With a career spanning over a decade, Cha’s innovations directly address critical challenges in minimally invasive surgery, offering tangible improvements in patient outcomes and clinician safety.
