About
Dr. Lihua Peng is a pioneering researcher in robotic-assisted soft endoscopy, with a primary focus on enhancing the safety, precision, and autonomy of gastrointestinal interventions. Her most significant contributions center on the development and clinical validation of the YunSRobot system, a master-slave robotic platform designed for flexible endoscopy. Through a series of translational studies—including simulation models, animal trials, and the first human volunteer upper gastrointestinal endoscopies—Dr. Peng has demonstrated that remote robotic endoscopy is both feasible and safe, achieving over 22 citations for her foundational work on navigation strategies. Her research addresses critical challenges in human-robot cooperation, reducing dependence on endoscopist skill for navigating tortuous lumens. Notably, her 2018 human trial marked a milestone in robot-assisted EGD, revealing a rapid learning curve that underscores the system’s potential for widespread clinical adoption. With a cumulative impact of over 30 citations across her key papers, Dr. Peng’s work is shaping the future of minimally invasive surgery, bridging the gap between robotic precision and real-world endoscopic practice.
