About

Jingheng Wang’s research lies at the intersection of surgical robotics, computer-assisted orthopedic surgery, and intelligent control systems, with a primary focus on improving safety and precision in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Wang’s major contributions include the development of a CT-free navigation robotic system for bone cutting, which uses coordinated bilateral force control to guide a hands-on robot during TKA. This work addresses a critical challenge: enabling surgeons to perform bone resections with sub-millimeter accuracy without the need for preoperative CT imaging, thereby reducing radiation exposure and surgical time. Wang also pioneered a bone cutting-through detection method under imageless navigation, which allows the robotic system to sense when the saw blade has fully penetrated the bone, preventing damage to surrounding soft tissues—a key safety enhancement over conventional techniques. Although these foundational papers have accumulated modest citation counts (2 each), they represent early, targeted contributions to a niche but clinically vital area of medical robotics. Wang’s work is particularly notable for its practical focus on intraoperative safety and real-time control, making it valuable reading for researchers developing next-generation surgical assistants.
