About

Yunxuan Mao is a pioneering researcher in the field of medical robotics, with a focus on electromagnetic actuation and untethered magnetic systems for minimally invasive surgery and targeted drug delivery. His work centers on the design and control of small-scale magnetic robots that can navigate the human body without physical tethers, enabling safer and more precise interventions. Mao’s most cited paper, “Design of A Novel Electromagnetic Actuation System for Actuating Magnetic Capsule Robot” (2019, 12 citations), introduces an innovative system for active motion control of capsule endoscopes, addressing a critical challenge in gastrointestinal imaging. He further advances the field with his work on an untethered magnetic gripper (2021, 5 citations), modeling a double-magnet mechanism for a 4.3mm-long device capable of grasping in confined spaces. His earlier research on a magnetically-driven micro-gripper for drug delivery (2019, 2 citations) explores the potential of magnetic fields to safely cross biological barriers. Collectively, Mao’s contributions demonstrate a clear trajectory toward practical, non-invasive robotic tools, with his designs offering promising solutions for future clinical applications in diagnostics and therapy.
