About

Dr. Yuqiao Han is a leading researcher in the field of surgical robotics and ophthalmic intervention, with a primary focus on enhancing the precision and safety of microsurgery. His most notable contribution is the development of a monocular vision-based system for retinal membrane peeling using a handheld robotic device. This work directly addresses three critical challenges in vitreoretinal surgery: the surgeon's physiological tremor, the poor quality of intraoperative ophthalmic images, and the risk of excessive tool-to-tissue forces. By integrating computer vision with robotic control, Dr. Han’s system enables more stable and accurate manipulation during this delicate procedure, significantly reducing the potential for unintended retinal damage. His research, which has garnered over a dozen citations, represents a pivotal step toward semi-autonomous assistance in eye surgery. Dr. Han’s work is particularly impactful for students and researchers in medical robotics, as it demonstrates a practical, monocular approach to overcoming the visual and haptic limitations of current microsurgical techniques, paving the way for safer, more accessible retinal treatments.
