About
Jian Dong is a researcher specializing in surgical robotics, fiber optic sensing, and minimally invasive surgical technology. His work sits at the intersection of advanced sensing systems and robotic-assisted surgery, with a particular focus on developing practical, high-performance tools that enhance surgical precision and safety. His most notable contribution is the development of the X-Perce, a universal fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-based force sensing kit designed specifically for laparoscopic surgical robots. This innovative system provides real-time, intuitive contact force feedback to surgeons, operating independently alongside non-contact information systems to deliver a more comprehensive operational reference during minimally invasive procedures. By leveraging the unique properties of FBG sensors — including their immunity to electromagnetic interference, compact size, and high sensitivity — Dong's work addresses one of the longstanding challenges in robotic surgery: restoring the tactile feedback lost in laparoscopic environments. With 23 citations since its 2022 publication, the X-Perce has attracted meaningful attention from the surgical robotics community, signaling its relevance as a foundational platform technology. Dong's research represents a significant step toward safer, more intuitive robotic surgical systems that could ultimately improve patient outcomes in clinical settings worldwide.
