About
Yao-Yu Yang is a pioneering researcher in soft robotics and medical endoscopy, whose work focuses on developing robot-assisted systems for minimally invasive procedures. His most notable contribution is the creation of the YunSRobot, a soft endoscopy system designed for upper gastrointestinal examinations. In a landmark 2018 study, Yang demonstrated the first successful trial of this robot on human volunteers, proving its competence in performing esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). While the initial learning time for the YunSRobot exceeded that of experienced manual endoscopy, Yang’s research revealed a steep learning curve, with manipulation times decreasing rapidly across procedures. This work has garnered 2 citations and represents a critical step toward safer, more accessible endoscopic care. Yang’s innovations bridge the gap between robotic precision and clinical practicality, offering a foundation for future advancements in soft robotic surgery. His contributions highlight the potential of soft robotics to transform diagnostic and therapeutic interventions, making him a key figure in the evolution of medical robotics.
