About
Yaqing Wang is a robotics researcher specializing in surgical robotics, autonomous manipulation, and compliant mechanism design, with particular focus on advancing minimally invasive procedures through intelligent robotic systems. His most influential contribution, "Dual-Arm Robotic Needle Insertion With Active Tissue Deformation for Autonomous Suturing" (2019, 87 citations), introduced a groundbreaking control framework that actively counteracts soft tissue deformation during needle insertion — a persistent challenge in robotic suturing. This work established Wang as a significant voice in autonomous surgical robotics. He has further contributed to the field through novel variable stiffness joint design, proposing a leaf spring-based architecture that elegantly balances response bandwidth and output impedance for safer human-robot interaction (2020, 42 citations). Wang's research extends beyond the operating room; during the COVID-19 pandemic, he developed a tele-operated oropharyngeal swab robot to protect healthcare workers from infection risk (2021, 39 citations), demonstrating his commitment to translating robotics into urgent real-world applications. His additional work on hand-eye calibration for surgical instruments and a motorized uterine manipulation robot further underscores his broad impact across clinical robotics, collectively accumulating over 200 citations.
