About

Cornelius Tan is a leading researcher in the field of robotic-assisted medical imaging, with a primary focus on advancing fetal ultrasound technology. His major contribution lies in the pioneering development of robotic systems that transition from single-arm to dual-arm configurations, designed to overcome the inherent limitations of manual, hand-held ultrasound probes. This work directly addresses critical deficiencies in on-site manipulation, offering enhanced stability, precision, and remote operability for fetal imaging. Tan’s most cited paper, "Robotic-Assisted Ultrasound for Fetal Imaging: Evolution from Single-Arm to Dual-Arm System" (2019), has garnered 45 citations, underscoring its influence in shaping the trajectory of robotic extracorporeal ultrasound systems. His research builds upon a rich history of projects dating back to the 1990s, yet Tan’s specific innovations in dual-arm coordination represent a significant leap forward, promising to improve diagnostic accuracy and accessibility in prenatal care. Through his work, Tan is not only refining technical aspects of robotic control but also paving the way for more reliable, remote fetal assessments, making a lasting impact on both biomedical engineering and clinical obstetrics.
