About
Yiqun Wu is a pioneering researcher at the forefront of robotic and image-guided technologies in dental implantology, with a body of work that has fundamentally advanced the precision and safety of implant surgery. With a research career spanning from 2018 to the present, Wu has accumulated over 600 citations across his most influential publications, reflecting the significant impact of his contributions on both clinical practice and surgical engineering. Wu's foundational 2019 review, "Robotics in Dental Implantology" (162 citations), established a comprehensive framework for understanding robotic applications in the field, while his subsequent in vitro studies systematically validated the accuracy of dynamic navigation and task-autonomous robotic systems against conventional approaches. Notably, his development of a hybrid robotic system integrating serial and Stewart platform manipulators demonstrated innovative engineering solutions to the complex challenges of oral surgery. His pioneering work on zygomatic implant placement using robotic assistance has offered meaningful alternatives for patients with severe maxillary atrophy. Beyond technical development, Wu has shown a commitment to clinical translation, exploring learning curves among novice dentists using autonomous robotic systems — addressing the real-world adoption challenges that accompany emerging surgical technologies. His research consistently bridges robotics, image guidance, and clinical dentistry.
