About
Ziqi Zhao is a robotics and biomedical engineering researcher whose work centers on magnetic actuation, localization, and autonomous navigation systems for minimally invasive medical devices, particularly wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE). His most significant contributions lie in the development of simultaneous magnetic actuation and localization (SMAL) systems, which enable active, controllable movement of capsule robots through the gastrointestinal tract — dramatically improving diagnostic accuracy and reducing examination time compared to passive, peristalsis-driven approaches. Zhao's most cited work (71 citations) introduced a closed-loop SMAL system using rotating magnetic actuators and external sensor arrays, a foundational advance in the field. Subsequent research expanded this platform through sensor fusion techniques combining external magnetic and internal inertial sensing for six-degree-of-freedom pose estimation, as well as autonomous navigation frameworks inspired by conventional colonoscopy procedures. His evaluations of competing control strategies and reciprocal rotation methods have further refined practical implementation of these systems. Beyond medical robotics, Zhao has also contributed to collaborative robot coordination, including a divide-and-conquer control framework for multi-robot luggage transportation. With nearly 190 total citations across his key works, Zhao represents an emerging voice shaping the future of intelligent, autonomous robotic systems in both clinical and industrial settings.
