About

Keren Yue is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics and biomedical engineering, with a primary focus on developing bioinspired robotic simulators of human physiology. Her key research areas include robotic healthcare, respiratory system simulation, and medical device testing platforms. Yue’s major contribution lies in creating the first active robotic simulator of the human respiratory system, a groundbreaking tool that can reproduce multiple respiratory features for testing medical devices and implants. Her foundational work, "Respiratory simulator for robotic respiratory tract treatments" (2017, 7 citations), established the framework for this technology, while her more recent "A Bioinspired Active Robotic Simulator of the Human Respiratory System" (2023, 3 citations) refines the design with enhanced biofidelity. These innovations address critical gaps in medical device testing, where current respiratory simulators fail to capture the dynamic complexity of human breathing. Yue’s work has direct implications for improving treatments for debilitating respiratory pathologies and advancing robotic-assisted surgical techniques. Her research represents a vital bridge between robotics and clinical medicine, offering powerful platforms that accelerate the development of safer, more effective respiratory interventions.
