The Institute of Medical Robotics (IMR) of Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) (http://imr.sjtu.edu.cn/) is a multidisciplinary platform to advance the field of medical robotics and related technologies with emphasis on benefiting patients and creating socio-economic values. This top-level institute operates directly under SJTU and works closely with other academic schools/departments. The main research directions include the fundamental research in micro/nano systems, perception and cognition, bioinspired systems, and smart materials, as well as the applied research in surgical robotics, rehabilitation and assistive robotics, image-guided intervention, AI and human-robot interaction, biophotonics, and precision mechatronics. By leveraging the unique strength of SJTU’s medical school and affiliated hospitals, IMR has also established joint clinical research centers for targeted diseases.
Guang-Zhong Yang, Founding Dean of IMR, Chair Professor of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, IEEE Fellow, IET Fellow, IAMBE Fellow, AIMBE Fellow, former professor at Imperial College London, Founding Director of the Hamlyn Center for Robotic Surgery, Founding Editor-in-chief of Science Robotics. His main research interests are medical imaging technology, sensor technology and robotics. Breakthroughs have been made in minimally invasive surgical robots, micro-nano robots, advanced materials and other fields. In recent years, Prof. Yang has proposed and realized the use of micro-processing, biophotonics and machine visual technologies for the development of key technologies and systems for specialized and intelligent surgical robots, providing new methods for minimally invasive and precise diagnosis and treatment of major diseases such as tumors, cardiovascular disease, and stroke.
