About

Bowei Zeng is a leading researcher at the intersection of neurosurgery and robotics, with a primary focus on developing advanced surgical navigation and automation systems. His work centers on integrating augmented reality (AR) and markerless registration techniques to enhance the precision and safety of stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) electrode implantation—a critical procedure for epilepsy surgery. Zeng’s most-cited paper, "A surgical robot with augmented reality visualization for stereoelectroencephalography electrode implantation" (2017, 29 citations), pioneered a system that overlays real-time 3D anatomical data onto the surgical field, significantly improving electrode placement accuracy. Complementing this, his study "An automatic markerless registration method for neurosurgical robotics based on an optical camera" (2017, 24 citations) eliminated the need for invasive fiducial markers, streamlining workflow and reducing patient trauma. These contributions have been instrumental in making robotic neurosurgery more accessible and less invasive. Zeng’s work is widely recognized for bridging the gap between computer vision, robotics, and clinical practice, offering tangible solutions for complex cranial procedures. His research continues to influence the design of next-generation surgical robots, with his publications serving as foundational references for engineers and neurosurgeons aiming to improve intraoperative guidance and patient outcomes.
