About

Minxin Ye is a leading researcher in surgical robotics, specializing in soft-bodied medical devices, shared autonomy, and robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery. Their work addresses critical challenges in crowded surgical environments and constrained anatomical spaces. Ye’s most cited paper (39 citations) introduces a kinematic model and visual servo control for a soft-bodied magnetic anchored and guided endoscope, enabling enhanced maneuverability and field of view in minimally invasive surgery. Another influential study (21 citations) explores shared autonomy for flexible manipulators in endoluminal tasks, advancing automation beyond traditional teleoperation toward safer, semi-autonomous surgical workflows. Ye also contributed to a semi-autonomous stereotactic brain biopsy robot (16 citations), integrating high precision with enhanced safety features for neurosurgery. These contributions demonstrate a clear trajectory from foundational modeling to practical, autonomy-enabled systems, with cumulative citations reflecting growing impact in surgical robotics. Ye’s work is notable for bridging soft robotics and autonomous control, offering innovative solutions to real-world surgical constraints.
