About

Dr. Lunhui Duan is a pioneering researcher in orthopaedic robotics, specializing in the integration of musculoskeletal biomechanics with robotic systems for fracture reduction surgeries. Her most influential work introduces a Hill-based musculoskeletal model for fracture reduction robots, addressing the critical challenge of excessive reduction forces during surgery—a problem that has hindered the clinical adoption of such robots. This foundational paper has garnered 11 citations, establishing her as a key voice in this niche field. Dr. Duan further advanced the domain by optimizing surgical robot trajectories with musculoskeletal integration features, demonstrating how muscle forces impact path planning for Stewart-Gough platform-based orthopaedic robots. This work, with 7 citations, bridges a significant gap in the literature. Additionally, she has contributed to robotic perception by developing an icosahedron marker for 6-DOF pose estimation, improving upon the limitations of traditional ArUco markers in stability and accuracy. Dr. Duan’s research directly enhances the safety and precision of robotic orthopaedic surgery, making her work essential reading for engineers and clinicians seeking to translate robotic systems into real-world surgical practice.
