About

Yuanzhuo Xiang is pioneering the next generation of minimally invasive surgical tools at the intersection of soft robotics, magnetics, and fiber-based technologies. His core research focuses on developing magnetically actuated "fiberbots"—ultra-flexible, thread-like robots designed to navigate the body’s most delicate and tortuous pathways. Xiang’s most impactful contribution is the "Magnetic soft microfiberbots for robotic embolization," which has garnered 165 citations. This work introduces a paradigm shift for treating life-threatening cerebral aneurysms and brain tumors by enabling precise, targeted occlusion of lesions, potentially replacing conventional, less-flexible embolization techniques. He further advances the field with innovations like the "Flexible fiberbotic laser scalpels" and a magnetically actuated multimaterial fiberbot for precise knee laser surgery, directly addressing the critical lack of tool flexibility in arthroscopic procedures. To enhance autonomy, Xiang also explores learning-based intelligent trajectory planning for the auto-navigation of these magnetic robots, aiming to reduce human intervention and surgical risk. His work represents a significant leap toward safer, more precise, and less invasive robotic surgeries.
