About
Yiqi Chen is a pioneering roboticist whose work sits at the critical intersection of precision engineering and ophthalmic microsurgery. His primary research focuses on developing high-accuracy robotic systems designed to overcome the physiological limitations of the human hand during delicate procedures, most notably retinal surgery. Chen’s major contribution is the design and clinical validation of a soft, micron-accuracy robot that actively filters hand tremors and provides motion scaling—capabilities essential for operating on the retina, one of the most fragile and inaccessible tissues in the human body. This work, detailed in his 2025 publication, has already garnered early citations, reflecting its immediate relevance to the surgical robotics community. By pushing the boundaries of what is mechanically and clinically feasible, Chen is helping to transform retinal surgery from a procedure that often pushes surgeons to their limits into one where robotic assistance can enhance safety and precision. His research stands at the forefront of a new generation of soft, compliant robots that promise to make microsurgery more accessible and effective for patients worldwide.
