About
Dr. Kyung-Won Moon is a leading figure in surgical robotics, best known for his pioneering work at the Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT). His primary research focuses on the design and development of minimally invasive surgical robots, with a particular emphasis on single-port access systems. Dr. Moon’s most notable contribution is the creation of the SAIT single-port surgical access robot, a highly innovative system that enables complex abdominal surgeries through a single incision. This robot features two 7-DOF surgical tools and a 3-DOF endoscope, all integrated into a flexible hyper-redundant arm based on a remote center of motion (RCM) mechanism. His 2015 paper detailing this system, which has garnered 7 citations, serves as a foundational reference for researchers in the field. Dr. Moon’s work directly addresses the critical challenge of dexterity and workspace in confined surgical environments, advancing the frontier of scarless surgery and demonstrating SAIT’s leadership in medical robotics innovation.
