About
Dr. Haneul Jang is pioneering the next generation of surgical robotics, with a core focus on magnetic soft continuum robots (MSCRs) for minimally invasive interventions. Her most-cited work, "Hybrid Tendon-Actuated and Soft Magnetic Robotic Platform for Pancreatic Applications" (2025, 6 citations), tackles a critical bottleneck in the field: the limited manoeuvrability of MSCRs despite their complex programmable magnetisation. By integrating tendon-driven actuation with magnetic control, Dr. Jang has developed a hybrid platform that dramatically enhances dexterity and precision, specifically for challenging pancreatic procedures. This breakthrough addresses a key limitation of purely magnetic systems, offering surgeons greater control in confined anatomical spaces. Her research has immediate implications for neurological, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal surgeries, where navigating delicate, tortuous pathways is paramount. With her innovative approach to hybrid actuation, Dr. Jang is not only advancing soft robotics but also paving the way for safer, more effective surgical outcomes in some of the most demanding clinical applications.
