About
Wuzhou Hong is a leading researcher in continuum robotics for minimally invasive surgery, with a focus on maxillary sinus and endoscopic procedures. His work centers on developing novel, flexible robotic systems that can navigate the complex, curved anatomy of the sinuses and throat, overcoming the limitations of rigid surgical tools. Hong’s major contributions include the design of a two-segment continuum robot with piecewise stiffness and a novel continuum module for maxillary sinus surgery, enabling access to previously unreachable lesions. His research has garnered significant attention, with his most cited paper, “Development of a Novel Continuum Robotic System for Maxillary Sinus Surgery,” accumulating over 100 citations. He has also pioneered autonomous robotic palpation using deep recurrent neural networks for tumor depth estimation, and advanced human-robot shared control through context-aware sim-to-real adaptation. Hong’s work on 3D-printed flexible joints with presettable stiffness and integrated shape sensing using distributed temperature gradient sensors further demonstrates his impact. His comprehensive review on continuum robots for endoscopic sinus surgery highlights his role in shaping the field, making him a key figure in the advancement of surgical robotics.
