About

Zhesi Zhang is a leading researcher in the field of surgical robotics, with a primary focus on precision-guided interventional systems for oncology. Her work centers on the development of automatic robotic puncture systems, particularly for liver cancer ablation, where she has made significant contributions to improving surgical accuracy. Zhang’s most impactful research, "A multiple closed‐loops robotic calibration for accurate surgical puncture" (2021, 14 citations), introduces a novel calibration framework that enhances target location accuracy by integrating positional and orientational transformations across all system components. This work addresses a critical bottleneck in robotic-assisted surgery: the need for preoperative calibration to ensure millimeter-level precision. Her earlier foundational paper, "[Automatic Robotic Puncture System for Accurate Liver Cancer Ablation Based on Optical Surgical Navigation]" (2018, 6 citations), demonstrates the practical application of near-infrared optical navigation for surgical planning and simulation. By combining closed-loop calibration with optical navigation, Zhang has advanced the reliability of automated puncture systems, directly impacting minimally invasive cancer treatments. Her research is instrumental in bridging the gap between robotic theory and clinical practice, offering a pathway toward safer, more accurate surgical interventions.
