About
Dr. Zhi Son is a pioneering figure in the field of minimally invasive surgical robotics, with a focused expertise in the development and clinical translation of domestically produced Chinese robotic systems. His major contributions center on the “Micro Hand S” surgical robot, a groundbreaking platform designed to enhance precision and accessibility in minimally invasive procedures. Dr. Son led the first clinical use of this system in 2015, a landmark achievement that demonstrated its safety and efficacy in real-world surgeries, followed by a preliminary clinical application study in 2016. These works, cited 69 and 48 times respectively, have established a foundational evidence base for Chinese surgical robotics, showcasing the potential for cost-effective, locally manufactured alternatives to imported systems. His research not only advances technical innovation but also addresses critical healthcare needs in China, reducing reliance on foreign technology. Dr. Son’s work has been instrumental in bridging the gap between engineering and clinical practice, earning him recognition as a key contributor to the nation’s growing autonomy in medical robotics. For students and researchers, his career exemplifies the transformative impact of translating engineering breakthroughs into tangible patient care.
