About
Xuesong Dai is a leading researcher in medical robotics, with a primary focus on minimally invasive interventional therapies, particularly in the fields of prostate brachytherapy and flexible needle steering. His work addresses critical challenges in soft tissue puncture, including path planning, needle deflection modeling, and the safe design of image-guided robots. Dai’s most cited paper, a comprehensive review of flexible steerable needle puncture robots (35 citations), highlights his role in advancing this rapidly developing research area. He has also made significant contributions to low dose rate prostate brachytherapy, proposing safety-focused robot designs and a corrective force-based needle guidance model to mitigate deflection during transrectal procedures. His research extends to optimization algorithms, as seen in his modified reptile search algorithm (20 citations), and to novel applications like robotic chairs for proton heavy ion radiotherapy. With over 90 total citations across his publications, Dai is establishing himself as a key innovator in medical robot technology, bridging the gap between theoretical modeling and practical, safe clinical deployment.
