About
Yusheng Yan is a leading researcher in surgical robotics, with a focus on force sensing, motion estimation, and robotic mechanisms for minimally invasive surgery. His major contributions include the design and realization of forceps with 3-D force sensing capability for robot-assisted surgical systems, a breakthrough that enables surgeons to differentiate tissue stiffness and apply appropriate forces to avoid tissue damage during minimally invasive procedures. He also developed a tubular dual-roller bending mechanism for robotic transurethral prostate biopsy, addressing challenges such as multipass needle perforations and high complication risk. Yan’s work on three-dimensional nonlinear force-sensing methods using double microgrippers with E-type vertical elastomers further advances direct force sensing at surgical instrument tips. His research has been widely cited, with his most influential paper accumulating 35 citations, reflecting its impact on the field. Additionally, Yan has contributed to motion estimation techniques using Unscented Kalman Filters for cable-driven forceps and vision-based kinematic calibration for parallel robots, demonstrating his versatility in both surgical and general robotics. His innovations are pivotal for enhancing precision and safety in robot-assisted surgery.
