About

Wangsheng Lu is a pioneering researcher in the field of medical robotics, with a particular focus on vascular interventional robotics and stereotactic neurosurgery. His work spans more than a decade of dedicated effort to develop and clinically validate robotic systems that enhance the precision, safety, and accessibility of minimally invasive surgical procedures. Lu's most significant contributions center on the development of vascular interventional robotic systems (VIRS), including successive iterations such as VIR-2, which employ master-slave architectures to allow surgeons to perform complex endovascular procedures with reduced radiation exposure and improved control. His 2015 study on robotic cerebral angiography, his most cited work with 41 citations, demonstrated the clinical viability of these systems in real patient care. Equally notable is his early work on the CAS-BH5 and CAS-R-5 telemanipulation platforms for frameless stereotactic surgery, validated across dozens of patients and cited 36 times. Lu's research also advances telemedicine by enabling remote surgical interventions, a transformative step toward addressing geographic disparities in specialist care. With contributions spanning experimental animal studies to large-scale clinical analyses of over 1,400 stereotactic procedures, his body of work represents a meaningful bridge between robotic engineering and neurovascular surgery.
