About

Xiangzhou Tan is a leading researcher in the field of small-scale robotics, with a primary focus on magnetic millirobots for minimally invasive medicine. His work addresses critical challenges in navigating complex biological environments, particularly the difficulty of locomotion on soft, slippery tissues. Tan’s major contributions include the development of a magnetic millirobot capable of walking on slippery biological surfaces for targeted cargo delivery, a breakthrough that overcomes a key limitation in the field. He also pioneered a convoy system of magnetic millirobots that can transport endoscopic instruments, demonstrating a novel approach to cooperative robotic surgery. With over 24 citations across his most prominent works, including a 2024 paper that has already garnered 14 citations, Tan’s research is rapidly gaining recognition for its practical impact. His innovative designs—such as robots that maintain traction and payload capacity on wet tissues—represent significant steps toward real-world clinical applications, positioning him as a rising figure in medical robotics and targeted therapy delivery.
