About
Yi Qi Chen is a pioneering researcher in ophthalmic microsurgery, with a primary focus on robot-assisted retinal vascular bypass surgery (RVBS). His major contributions lie in the design and feasibility analysis of robotic systems that enhance surgical precision in the delicate, confined workspace of the retina. Chen’s seminal 2017 study demonstrated the viability of a dual-arm robotic manipulator for RVBS in an ex vivo porcine model, achieving superior success rates compared to freehand techniques—a critical step toward reducing tremor and improving outcomes in sight-saving procedures. His earlier 2012 work laid the foundation by analyzing the kinematic and ergonomic requirements for such a system, directly addressing the clinical challenges of high-precision manipulation in a small workspace. Though his citation counts are modest (8 and 4, respectively), these papers represent foundational advances in a niche but vital field, bridging robotics and ophthalmology. Chen’s research is particularly notable for its translational potential, offering hope for patients with retinal vein occlusion who currently lack effective treatments. His work continues to inspire innovations in microsurgical robotics.
