About
Terence Fu is a leading researcher at the intersection of head and neck surgical oncology and advanced robotic systems. His primary contributions span two distinct fields: the surgical management of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma of unknown primary (HNSCCUP) and the development of autonomous multirobot excavation controllers. In his seminal 2016 systematic review, Fu comprehensively analyzed the roles of transoral robotic surgery (TORS), transoral laser microsurgery (TLM), and lingual tonsillectomy in identifying occult primary tumors—a work that has garnered over 100 citations and become a cornerstone reference for surgeons navigating this diagnostic challenge. Earlier in his career, Fu pioneered novel approaches to scalable multirobot control using artificial neural tissue paradigms, demonstrating how evolutionary algorithms can generate robust excavation strategies without human-defined scripts. His 2009 paper on this topic, with 17 citations, introduced a flexible framework for coordinating multiple robotic platforms in complex environments. Fu’s work uniquely bridges clinical innovation and robotics engineering, offering practical solutions that improve patient outcomes while advancing autonomous systems. His research continues to influence both surgical practice and robotic autonomy, marking him as a versatile contributor to modern medicine and engineering.
