About

Zhao Zhigang is a versatile researcher whose work bridges two distinct yet complementary domains: orthopedic surgical robotics and multi-robot coordinated mechanical systems. In the clinical arena, Zhao has made meaningful contributions to robot-assisted spinal surgery, evaluating the safety and efficacy of the TINAVI orthopedic surgery robot for complex procedures including hangman fractures and adolescent congenital scoliosis. His comparative clinical studies, accumulated over 17 citations combined, provide surgeons with evidence-based insights into how robotic and navigation-guided platforms stack up against conventional open surgery—work with direct implications for patient outcomes and surgical precision. Equally compelling is Zhao's engineering research into multi-robot collaborative systems, encompassing workspace analysis, dynamic modeling, trajectory planning, and obstacle avoidance for towing and lifting platforms with mobile or floating bases. By tackling problems such as workspace boundary definition using improved Monte-Carlo algorithms and force-position collaborative optimization, he advances the theoretical and practical foundations of coordinated robotic manipulation. His body of work, spanning publications from 2021 through 2025, reflects a sustained and growing research agenda. With citations accumulating across both surgical and mechanical robotics domains, Zhao Zhigang represents an interdisciplinary voice pushing the boundaries of robotic systems in both healthcare and industrial applications.
