About

Dr. Yucun Tang is a leading researcher in intelligent surgical robotics, with a focus on enhancing safety and precision in human-robot cooperation during orthopedics surgery. His work bridges the gap between physical human-robot interaction (pHRI) and advanced control systems, addressing critical safety challenges in the operating room. Dr. Tang’s most-cited paper, "Intelligent Control for Human-Robot Cooperation in Orthopedics Surgery" (2018, 16 citations), pioneers adaptive control strategies that allow surgeons and robots to work seamlessly together, reducing error risks. In his follow-up work, "A Virtual Fixtures Control Method of Surgical Robot Based on Human Arm Kinematics Model" (2019, 7 citations), he introduces a novel approach that extends virtual fixtures beyond the surgical site to account for human arm movements, preventing unintended collisions and improving overall safety. This innovative perspective on pHRI—focusing on the human operator’s kinematics rather than just the tool tip—marks a significant contribution to the field. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Tang’s research is shaping the future of collaborative surgery, offering practical solutions for safer, more intuitive robotic assistance in high-stakes medical procedures.
