About

Jinshan Zhou is a leading researcher in the field of biomedical robotics, with a primary focus on advancing capsule robot (CR) technology for minimally invasive gastrointestinal diagnosis and treatment. His key research areas include wireless power transmission (WPT) systems, tribology of gastrointestinal environments, and the mechanical design of active locomotion mechanisms for capsule endoscopy. Zhou’s most significant contribution is his pioneering work on stable wireless power delivery to capsule robots with randomly changing attitudes, a critical challenge that previously limited the clinical viability of active capsule systems. His 2022 paper on this topic, which has garnered 42 citations, proposes a novel WPT system employing two-dimensional combined solenoid coils to maintain consistent power transfer regardless of the capsule’s orientation inside the body. Additionally, Zhou has made important contributions to understanding the frictional behavior between capsule robots and the colon wall, as detailed in his 2024 work (6 citations), which is essential for predicting traction forces and optimizing locomotion efficiency. His research has been recognized for its potential to transform capsule endoscopy from passive imaging to active, controllable intervention, earning him a reputation as an innovator in wireless medical robotics.
