About

Xiangyan Zeng is a pioneering researcher in the field of robotic microsurgery, with a primary focus on intraocular surgical systems and automated tool-changing mechanisms. Her most notable contribution is the development of the intraOcular RoBotic Interventional System (iORBIS), which features a novel mechanical design for distally-actuated instrument insertion—a critical advancement for delicate eye surgeries. Zeng’s work on the Automatic Instrument Changer for Robotic Microsurgical Systems addresses a frequently overlooked bottleneck in surgical robotics: the need for fast, precise, and fully automated tool exchange without manual intervention. Her research has garnered significant attention, with her 2021 iORBIS paper accumulating 9 citations and her 2020 instrument changer paper earning 5 citations, underscoring the growing impact of her innovations. By solving practical challenges in robotic microsurgery, Zeng is helping to pave the way for safer, more efficient, and less invasive surgical procedures. Her achievements highlight a deep understanding of both mechanical design and clinical needs, making her a rising figure in surgical robotics.
