About

Shipei Zheng is a pioneering robotics researcher whose work focuses on the intersection of medical automation, visual perception, and physical human-robot interaction. His primary contributions lie in developing intelligent robotic systems for clinical diagnostics, particularly for automating high-risk, repetitive medical procedures. Zheng’s most influential work centers on robotic nasopharyngeal (NP) swab manipulation, a critical task during the COVID-19 pandemic. His 2023 paper on a dual-arm NP swab manipulation robot for PCR sampling, which has garnered 2 citations, introduced a novel hardware system designed to replace the delicate and complex mucus sampling operations traditionally performed by medical personnel. Building on this, his 2025 paper presents a fully automatic dual-arm mobile medicine robot that integrates visual perception and physical contact feedback to perform upper respiratory tract sampling autonomously. This system represents a significant leap forward in reducing infection risk for healthcare workers and standardizing sample quality. Zheng’s research is notable for its practical, real-world impact, addressing urgent clinical needs through elegant robotic solutions. His work demonstrates how advanced robotics can safely and efficiently perform intricate medical tasks, paving the way for broader adoption of automation in healthcare settings.
