About
Dr. Lingbo Cheng is a leading researcher in medical telerobotics and surgical automation, with a focus on overcoming the challenges of physiological motion in beating-heart surgery. Her major contributions include the development of novel switched-impedance and admittance control methods that enable safe, precise teleoperation of surgical robots on moving organs—work that has garnered over 30 citations for her foundational 2018 paper on ultrasound-guided impedance control. She has also pioneered neural network-based motion prediction to compensate for rapid heartbeats, and designed haptics-enabled training systems for surgical cooperation. Beyond cardiac applications, Dr. Cheng has extended her expertise to mandible reconstruction and magnetically actuated tools for minimally invasive brain surgery, with her 2025 paper on the latter already attracting 14 citations. Her survey on COVID-19’s impact on medical telerobotics (16 citations) highlights her broader influence. Earlier in her career, she contributed to space station robotics, developing robust visual recognition algorithms for tool localization in challenging environments. With over 150 total citations across her most-cited works, Dr. Cheng’s research is driving the future of autonomous and teleoperated surgical systems.
