About

Yichong Sun is a pioneering researcher in medical robotics, with a primary focus on advancing autonomous and semi-autonomous robotic systems for minimally invasive procedures, particularly colonoscopy and neurosurgery. His major contributions lie in developing intelligent control frameworks that enhance the autonomy, safety, and intuitiveness of robotic endoscopes. Sun’s work on electromagnetically actuated soft-tethered colonoscopes, integrating visual servo control and lumen/polyp detection, addresses critical limitations in conventional colonoscopy—reducing patient discomfort and surgeon difficulty. His highly cited papers, including "Towards Semi-Autonomous Colon Screening" (18 citations) and "A Simultaneous Polyp and Lumen Detection Framework" (11 citations), demonstrate significant impact in the field. Sun has also innovated in safety-critical neuronavigation for stereotactic brain biopsy, employing Control Lyapunov Function (CLF) and Control Barrier Function (CBF) methods to ensure surgical safety. His research on robust adaptive dynamic control and model-based bending control for magnetic robots further showcases his versatility. With publications spanning 2023–2025, Sun’s work is rapidly gaining recognition, promising to transform robotic-assisted diagnostics and interventions.
