About
Manh Cuong Hoang is a leading researcher in medical microrobotics, with a focus on electromagnetic actuation (EMA) systems for wireless capsule endoscopes and untethered soft robots. His major contributions include the development of an enhanced EMA system that achieves independent electromagnetic field control for actively locomotive capsule endoscopes, addressing critical challenges in movability, force, and coil size (101 citations). He also pioneered a magnetically actuated walking soft robot using chained magnetic microparticles-embedded elastomer (65 citations) and a robotic biopsy endoscope with magnetic 5-DOF locomotion and a retractable biopsy punch (54 citations). His work on a drug delivery capsule endoscope with active locomotion and drug release mechanisms (57 citations) and a guide-wired helical microrobot for percutaneous revascularization in chronic total occlusion (48 citations) demonstrates translational potential for minimally invasive gastrointestinal and cardiovascular procedures. Beyond medical robotics, Hoang has contributed to ballbot mobile robots with synchronization control and bio-inspired ascidian-like soft robots capable of crawling, tumbling, and pick-and-place tasks. With over 450 total citations across his top-cited works, Hoang’s research is driving the next generation of active, untethered medical microrobots for precise diagnostics and therapeutics.
