About

Dr. Yongxin Zhang is a leading researcher in the field of interventional surgical robotics, with a primary focus on endovascular and vascular intervention systems. His work addresses critical challenges in robot-assisted surgery, particularly in reducing radiation exposure for surgeons during cardio-cerebrovascular procedures. Dr. Zhang’s major contributions include the development of a reciprocating delivery device with multi-manipulator collaboration (19 citations), a grasping-force-based passive safety method (18 citations), and a deep-learning-based force sensing system for flexible endovascular robots (17 citations). He has also pioneered flexible tactile-sensing gripper designs with excessive force protection (15 citations) and a novel 5-DOF microcoil positioning system using single-axis electromagnetic transmitters (8 citations). Notably, Dr. Zhang led a multicenter randomized controlled trial demonstrating the safety and efficacy of a cerebral robot-assisted angiography system, marking a significant advancement in neurovascular applications. With over 80 total citations across his most-cited works, Dr. Zhang’s research is instrumental in making vascular intervention surgery safer, more precise, and less physically demanding for surgeons, pushing the boundaries of what robotic systems can achieve in minimally invasive medicine.
