About

Dr. Yunsheng Yang is a leading researcher in robotic-assisted soft endoscopy, with a primary focus on developing intelligent systems for gastrointestinal intervention. His major contributions center on human-robot cooperation navigation strategies and novel actuation mechanisms for flexible endoscopes, addressing critical challenges in surgical efficiency and patient safety. Notably, his work on the YunSRobot system—a robot-assisted platform for remote soft endoscopy—demonstrated the feasibility of teleoperated upper gastrointestinal examinations over standard networks, achieving satisfactory safety and stability despite longer procedure times compared to manual endoscopy. His most cited paper (22 citations) proposes a navigation strategy that reduces dependence on endoscopist skill for orientation within tortuous lumens, while his innovative circumferentially pneumatic-driven clamping mechanism (11 citations) overcomes the risk of scope deformation posed by traditional friction rollers. Dr. Yang also contributed to automatic endoscope video quality assessment, an essential function for medical robots and computer-aided diagnosis. His cumulative work, with over 40 citations across key publications, has advanced the field toward safer, more accessible robotic endoscopy, with potential applications in remote surgery and automated diagnostics.
