About

Xiangyu Mi is a leading researcher in the field of medical robotics, with a primary focus on continuum robots and humanoid systems. His most impactful work centers on advancing the precision and safety of small-scale continuum robots for minimally invasive surgery. In his highly cited 2023 paper (24 citations), Mi developed a learning-based method for high-precision force estimation and compliant control, enabling safer interaction with delicate human tissue during procedures like radiofrequency ablation and nasal swab sampling. He further advanced the field by tackling the complex inverse kinematics of magnetic continuum robots (2024), creating a learning-based framework for teleoperated navigation that overcomes the modeling challenges of permanent magnet field distributions. Mi also contributed a comprehensive review of humanoid robots (2025, 26 citations), synthesizing progress and future directions for this transformative technology. His work bridges the gap between theoretical control and practical surgical application, demonstrating a clear trajectory toward safer, more dexterous robotic systems for clinical use.
