About

Xilin Xiao is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics and surgery, with a primary focus on human–robot collaboration (HRC) and shared control systems for robotic surgery. His major contributions lie in advancing the safety and precision of surgical robots, particularly through the development of an integrated position-velocity-force method for shared control during surgical cutting—a novel approach that prioritizes human dominance to enhance safety without sacrificing efficiency. His widely cited review on human–robot collaboration in robotic surgery, with 24 citations, has become a foundational reference for researchers and clinicians exploring the integration of autonomous intelligence into surgical workflows. This work systematically maps the adoption of HRC across surgical disciplines, highlighting its transformative impact on precision and procedural safety. Xiao’s research is notable for its balanced emphasis on both technological innovation and clinical applicability, addressing critical challenges such as the trade-off between automation and human oversight. His work continues to shape the next generation of safer, more intuitive surgical robots, making him a key voice in the evolving field of robot-assisted medicine.
