Introduction to IMR @ SJTU

The Institute of Medical Robotics at Shanghai Jiao Tong University (IMR@SJTU) has been established to harness the latest advances in robotics and allied technologies to transform the future of surgery, rehabilitation and hospital automation. Its founder, Professor Guang-Zhong Yang, an internationally renowned scholar in robotics and the founding editor of Science Robotics, has led a concerted effort to promote robotics research, education, technological development and clinical translation by leveraging the unique engineering strength, basic science research and the strong clinical base of Shanghai. Committed to providing solutions for early diagnosis and personalised treatment of major illnesses such as cancer, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, the IMR@SJTU is focusing its research on the development of agile, intelligent, and minimally invasive medical robotics technologies. The vision of the IMR@SJTU is to promote cross-disciplinary collaboration to accelerate the translation of research results, develop new talents and forge international collaboration. It aims to drive novel, underpinning technologies in medical robotics and spearhead research innovation and development of new medical equipment with robotics and machine intelligence at its core. It is also building a multidisciplinary talent and business incubation base for aspiring young professionals,supporting bench-to-bedside transformation of new robotics technologies. With its mission to support clinical translation, the IMR@SJTU is partnering with leading teaching hospitals in Shanghai to establish joint research centres focussing on different clinicalspecialities. New breakthroughs are already emerging in the use of medical robots for urological, cardiopulmonary, oral and craniofacial diseases, as well as assistive robots based on soft exoskeletons. The Institute is also making significant inroads in the development of new micro-nano robotics technologies by integrating micro-actuation, imaging, sensing and endoluminal therapy and drug delivery.  The Institute is also broadening its international collaboration through regular research exchange with world-renowned research institutions and organisation of international conferences, academic forums (e.g. the popular neoBay Robotics Forum) and competitions in medical robotics. It aims to be a global hub for scholars conducting cutting-edge research in medical robotics, as well as innovators who have the vision to drive both basic science and applied research towards successful clinical adoption and commercialization.

Welcome to IMR!

2024 marks an important milestone for our Institute – it celebrates the perfect ending of the development phase of IMR. With the shadow of the pandemic behind us, we are able to move full speed ahead without the hinderance of constant interruptions. Working closely with researchers across different disciplines both nationally and internationally, our staff and students have made remarkable achievements in 2024. Our success is supported by the strong clinical expertise of leading hospitals in Shanghai. The research and technological centres of the Institute cover micro-nano systems, perception and cognition, biophotonics, smart and composite materials, bioelectronics and brain-computer interface, robotic vision and image guidance, precision mechatronics, and microfabrication, as well as translational research in surgical robotics, hospital automation, and rehabilitation and assistive robotics.  

Striving to provide a platform that both supports and cultivates the next generation scientists and engineers in medical robotics, the Institute is a university-wide multidisciplinary research platform of Shanghai Jiao Tong University. It supports the mission of "Healthy China" by spearheading innovation in medical robotics and allied technologies in both basic sciences research and engineering innovation. We are committed to promoting original research in medical robotics and related fields by fostering multidisciplinary collaboration while addressing unmet clinical needs.

We are extremely fortunate to have strong support from government at all levels, our national and international collaborators, and families and friends of our staff. As an annual tradition, I am proud to provide herewith our annual report, representing a snapshot of the work we do, the research and education environment we seek to provide, and the potential impact of our research that may transform the future of healthcare. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your unwavering support, and our staff and students for their dedication, perseverance, and teamwork. By working together, I am sure 2025 would be an even greater year in terms of our research and translational output.
