About
Taoming Liu is a leading researcher in medical robotics, with a focus on MRI-guided interventional systems and autonomous surgical assistance. His major contributions center on the development and modeling of magnetically actuated steerable catheters that leverage the magnetic field of an MRI scanner for remote steering and visualization, a breakthrough for procedures like catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. Liu’s work on three-dimensional kinematic modeling and inverse kinematics for these catheters, validated through pseudo-rigid-body models, has been foundational, with his most-cited papers accumulating over 200 citations. He has also advanced autonomous robotic surgery by developing algorithms for optimal needle grasp and entry port selection in suturing tasks, aiming to minimize tissue trauma. More recently, Liu has explored haptically-enabled robotic ultrasound systems for remote diagnostics. His research, published in top venues and cited over 200 times, demonstrates a clear trajectory from fundamental modeling to practical clinical applications, establishing him as a key innovator in MRI-compatible robotic systems and autonomous surgical execution.
