About

Dr. Chi Hang Yee is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotic surgery, computer vision, and urological oncology. His work centers on two transformative areas: developing intelligent, autonomous systems for minimally invasive surgery and advancing the treatment of urological cancers. Dr. Yee’s most impactful contribution is the E-DSSR framework (56 citations), which introduces a transformer-based stereoscopic depth perception method for efficient, dynamic reconstruction of surgical scenes from endoscopic video—a critical step toward context-aware robotic assistance. He further advanced surgical autonomy with his work on 3D perception-based imitation learning for automatic laparoscope control, enabling robots to learn from limited demonstrations by understanding hidden scene information rather than relying solely on tool tracking. In the clinical realm, Dr. Yee has made significant contributions to urological oncology, including a landmark epidemiological study on urological malignancy trends in Hong Kong (10 citations) and pioneering work on robotic techniques for complex procedures like ileal interposition and waterjet resection (Aquablation) for prostate cancer. His research on robotic-assisted radical cystectomy provides crucial evidence comparing outcomes with open surgery. By seamlessly blending cutting-edge AI with clinical practice, Dr. Yee is shaping the future of intelligent, data-driven robotic surgery.
