About
Natalie Yang is a pioneering researcher in the field of robotic ultrasound and haptic interfaces, with a primary focus on advancing teleoperated medical diagnostics. Her most notable contribution is the development of HERCULES (Haptically-Enabled Remotely Controlled Ultrasound Examination System), a groundbreaking platform that demonstrates the feasibility of performing point-of-care ultrasound examinations through remote, haptically-enabled control. This work addresses critical challenges in healthcare accessibility, particularly for underserved or remote populations, by allowing clinicians to conduct ultrasound procedures without being physically present. Her research integrates robotics, haptic feedback, and medical imaging to create intuitive, high-fidelity systems that replicate the tactile sensations of traditional ultrasound. With her 2025 publication already garnering early citations, Yang’s work is positioned as a foundational contribution to the emerging field of robotic telemedicine. Her achievements highlight the transformative potential of combining haptics with robotics to expand the reach of specialized medical care, making her a rising leader in this interdisciplinary domain.
