About

Mingsi Tong is a pioneering researcher whose work spans industrial robotics, tactile perception, and biomedical micromanipulation. Her key contributions lie in developing intelligent robotic systems for autonomous manufacturing and organoid biofabrication. In industrial robotics, Tong created novel object detection and pose estimation algorithms for autonomous spray painting robots (62 citations), alongside a model-free fuzzy adaptive trajectory tracking control algorithm for robotic manipulators (47 citations). She also advanced tactile perception by developing methods to discriminate materials through friction-induced vibration, enabling robots to perceive roughness and hardness (46 citations). More recently, Tong has broken new ground in biomedical engineering, developing robotic micromanipulation systems for patterned and complex organoid biofabrication (9 citations) and homogeneous organoid culture (4 citations). Her work addresses critical challenges in standardization and quality control of cell-based tissue models. Tong’s research has achieved over 185 citations, demonstrating significant impact across both industrial automation and cutting-edge biomedical applications. Her transition from manufacturing robotics to organoid biofabrication showcases her versatility and commitment to solving pressing challenges in autonomous systems and tissue engineering.
