About

Xiang Fu is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of nanorobotics and biomedical engineering, whose work is redefining precision manipulation at the micro- and nanoscale. His primary research areas include nanorobotic manipulation inside scanning electron microscopes (SEM), brain-computer interfaces (BCI), and automated microsurgery. Fu’s major contributions lie in developing autonomous systems that overcome the limitations of manual nanomanipulation. Notably, he has created visual servo control and self-calibration algorithms that eliminate tedious hardware alignment, enabling zoom-free, automated navigation of nanorobot end-effectors inside SEMs. His work on visual tracking with motion distortion removal further enhances real-time control in noisy SEM environments. In the biomedical domain, Fu’s 2024 paper on nanorobot-based direct implantation of flexible neural electrodes for BCI (8 citations) addresses the critical challenge of implanting electrodes with minimal tissue damage, a key step toward practical neural interfaces. Additionally, his recent achievement in automated surgical knot tying on mini-incisions using a dual-arm nanorobot under a stereo microscope (2024) demonstrates the potential for micron-scale robotic surgery. With a growing citation impact, Xiang Fu is establishing himself as a leader in nanorobotics, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in automated microassembly, neural engineering, and minimally invasive surgery.
