About

Dr. Max Q.-H. Meng is a pioneering figure in medical robotics and intelligent systems, with a career spanning over three decades dedicated to advancing surgical automation and human-robot interaction. His research focuses on concentric-tube robots, visual servoing, and minimally invasive surgical technologies, where he has made transformative contributions. Notably, his 2017 work on precise motion control of concentric-tube robots using visual servoing—cited 16 times—introduced a novel approach to navigating multi-section precurved tubes made of super-elastic nickel-titanium alloy, enabling safer and more accurate surgical targeting. This innovation addresses critical challenges in minimally invasive procedures, showcasing his ability to merge theoretical control algorithms with practical clinical needs. With over 500 publications and more than 10,000 citations, Dr. Meng’s impact is profound; he has also led major projects for the National Natural Science Foundation of China and served as a Fellow of IEEE. His achievements include developing the first robotic system for nasopharyngeal cancer surgery and mentoring a generation of researchers in medical robotics. For students and researchers, Dr. Meng’s work exemplifies how engineering precision can directly enhance patient outcomes.
