About
Yanhong Jia is a pioneering researcher in the field of soft robotics and biomedical sensing, with a focus on developing advanced materials and systems for minimally invasive surgical applications. Her key research areas include nanocomposite strain sensors, pneumatic actuation, and flexible catheter technologies for pulmonary surgery. Jia’s major contribution lies in the characterization and modelling of carbon black nanocomposite strain sensors integrated into pneumatic-driven flexible catheters, enabling precise control and real-time feedback during robotic-assisted procedures. Her work on a 4 mm catheter achieved bending angles of up to 65°, with the sensor demonstrating a minimum detectable strain of 0.44% and a rapid response time of 0.5 seconds. Notably, Jia improved bending angle prediction accuracy by correcting calculations based on strain data, enhancing the reliability of these devices. Her 2024 paper, with 3 citations, represents a foundational step toward safer and more effective surgical robots. Jia’s innovative integration of sensing and actuation in compact, flexible systems holds significant promise for advancing pulmonary surgery, showcasing her ability to bridge materials science and clinical robotics.
