About
Linfei Xiong is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, telemedicine, and medical imaging, whose work has redefined remote healthcare delivery. His primary research areas include robot-assisted teleultrasound systems, 5G-enabled medical robotics, and haptic-guided shared control for surgical applications. Xiong’s most impactful contributions emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic, where he demonstrated the feasibility of 5G-based robot-assisted remote ultrasound for cardiopulmonary assessment—a breakthrough that enabled early imaging diagnosis while minimizing infection risk. His landmark 2020 paper on this topic has garnered 109 citations, while a related pilot study on teleultrasound for COVID-19 early assessment has received 67 citations. Beyond the pandemic, Xiong extended his work to underserved populations, successfully deploying a 5G-based teleultrasound system in a rural Chinese care center for disabled patients (21 citations). His foundational research on shared control with haptic guidance (42 citations) and tele-operated robotic ultrasound systems (38 citations) has established design principles for intuitive, safe remote diagnosis. Xiong’s work on variable impedance control for ultrasound-guided procedures and virtual potential field-based human-robot collaboration further demonstrates his commitment to enhancing procedural precision and operator experience. Through his innovative integration of 5G connectivity, robotic manipulation, and clinical need, Xiong has positioned himself as a leader in making specialist-level ultrasound diagnostics accessible to remote and vulnerable populations worldwide.
