About

Dr. Weiwu Yan is a leading researcher in robotic endovascular intervention systems (REIS) and human-robot interaction, with a focus on haptic feedback and intuitive control. His major contributions include the development of a novel SEA-based haptic force feedback master hand controller for robotic telesurgery, addressing critical challenges in accuracy and instantaneity for interventional robots. He also pioneered force feedback controls for multi-gripper robotic systems, designing and experimentally validating prototypes that enhance surgical precision. Beyond medical robotics, Dr. Yan has advanced human-robot interaction through dynamic gesture recognition using directional pulse coupled neural networks, enabling real-time, natural communication between humans and machines. His work on human posture action recognition and imitation for robots further demonstrates his commitment to creating responsive, intuitive robotic systems. With his most-cited papers accumulating over 80 citations, Dr. Yan’s research has significantly impacted the fields of robot-assisted surgery and interactive robotics, bridging the gap between complex surgical tasks and user-friendly control interfaces. His innovative designs and algorithms continue to inspire new developments in telesurgery and collaborative robotics.
