About

Yudong Shi is at the forefront of advancing human–robot collaboration (HRC) in surgery, with a focus on enhancing precision, safety, and surgeon autonomy. His work spans the development of shared control frameworks that intelligently fuse human input with autonomous algorithms, ensuring that surgeons remain the dominant decision-maker while benefiting from robotic assistance. Shi’s pioneering contributions include the YunSRobot system for soft endoscopy, which demonstrated safe and stable remote manipulation of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy over standard networks—a significant step toward telesurgery. His most-cited paper, a comprehensive 2024 review on HRC in robotic surgery (24 citations), has become a key reference in the field, synthesizing the state of the art across surgical disciplines. More recently, Shi has introduced an integrated position-velocity-force method for safety-enhanced shared control during robotic cutting, and a multiobjective motion fusion approach for surgical robots. With a growing citation impact and a clear trajectory toward safer, more intuitive human–robot systems, Shi is shaping the next generation of intelligent surgical tools that prioritize both capability and human oversight.
