About

Leifeng Zhang is a leading researcher in medical robotics, with a focus on robot-assisted surgery and precision interventional systems. His work bridges critical gaps in surgical automation, particularly in puncture procedures and tumor treatment. Zhang’s most cited paper (29 citations) introduces a physician-friendly tool center point (TCP) calibration method for robot-assisted puncture surgery, addressing the critical challenge of maintaining accuracy after tool replacement—a practical bottleneck in clinical adoption. He has also advanced needle steering with a compliant actuator integrated with FBG-based shape sensing (5 citations), enabling real-time feedback for safer tissue navigation. His experimental validation of robotic-assisted radioactive seed implantation for tumor treatment (5 citations) demonstrates translational impact, while his work on dynamic condylar position accuracy (9 citations) and stiffness adaptation control for medical assistive robots (3 citations) further underscores his commitment to enhancing surgical precision and adaptability. Beyond medicine, Zhang contributes to industrial automation through image-based visual servo systems for flexible wire manipulation (4 citations). With a growing portfolio that marries mechanical design, control theory, and clinical application, Zhang is shaping the future of intelligent, adaptive robotic systems for both healthcare and manufacturing.
