About
Moqiu Zhang is pioneering the next generation of minimally invasive medical robotics, with a focus on magnetic actuation, ultrasound guidance, and soft robotic systems for endovascular and gastrointestinal interventions. His major contributions include the design of mobile electromagnetic coil systems that enable flexible, large-workspace magnetic control and simultaneous localization of miniature robots—critical for navigating complex, pulsatile vascular environments. Zhang’s work on steerable guidewires and driller-tipped catheters under real-time ultrasound guidance addresses key clinical challenges such as radiation exposure, procedural trauma, and low success rates in occlusive peripheral vascular disease. His research has garnered over 300 citations, with his most cited paper (97 citations) demonstrating magnetic control of a steerable guidewire using mobile electromagnets. Notably, Zhang has advanced ferrofluid robots with multimodal motion control for adaptive tasks and developed inverse programming of ferromagnetic domains for 3D soft materials, expanding the design space for continuum robots. His innovative integration of eye-in-hand sensor arrays and mobile coils for simultaneous actuation and localization represents a significant step toward autonomous, image-guided robotic surgery.
