About
Keyong Li is a pioneering researcher in continuum robotics for minimally invasive surgery, with a primary focus on developing flexible robotic systems for challenging otolaryngological procedures. His most impactful contribution is the "Development of a Novel Continuum Robotic System for Maxillary Sinus Surgery" (2018), which has garnered 107 citations. This work addresses a critical clinical challenge: accessing lesions in the maxillary sinus, which are often unreachable with conventional rigid endoscopic tools. Li introduced a novel bending manipulator module that enables retro-flexion and path-following motion through the narrow, curved nasal passages, significantly improving surgical access and reducing manual complexity. He further validated this approach with a two-segment continuum robot (2021, 15 citations) and extended the concept to transoral laryngeal surgery (2022, 16 citations). Earlier in his career, Li also contributed to posture detection using wireless body area networks (2011, 5 citations) and robust optimal control of stochastic processes (2007). His work bridges mechanical design, control theory, and clinical application, offering tangible solutions for safer, more effective endoscopic interventions.
