Recent Progress in Medical Miniature Robots from Bench to Bedside
Coordonnateurs : Zhang Li, Chiu Philip Wai Yan, Chan Kai Fung
Recent Progress in Medical Miniature Robots: From Bench to Bedside serves as a specialized and dedicated reference on tethered miniature robots and their related collective behaviors. The book presents the latest achievements in the research of miniature robotics and introduces a variety of miniature robots on the milli-/micro/nano-scale, with tethered/untethered and individual/swarm designs, describing the various types and analyzing the underlying principles per class. Clinicians, academicians, healthcare professionals, researchers, students, engineers, and scientists working in the field of medical miniature robots and related biomedical applications will benefit from the knowledge presented in this book. Robotic technology helps the medical field realize new surgical procedures and medical treatments that were previously unachievable. Innovative technologies like medical robotics will continue to improve the performance of minimally invasive interventions, allowing more accessible surgical treatments. With the advancement of robotic technologies across the scales, novel robotic-assisted surgical procedures and therapeutic interventions are revolutionizing medical diagnosis and treatment solutions, which enable and enhance visualization, accessibility, and accuracy for surgeons to carry out minimally invasive interventions that benefit medical doctors and patients worldwide.

Philip Chiu is currently professor, honorary consultant, and head of Division of Upper Gastrointestinal and Metabolic Surgery, Department of Surgery, Prince of Wales Hospital; director of Multi-Scale Medical Robotics Center; director of CUHK Chow Yuk Ho Technology Center for Innovative Medicine and associate dean (External Affairs), Faculty of Medicine, The Chinese University of Hong Kong. He also serves as director of endoscopy at the Prince of Wales Hospital and the New Territories East Cluster, Hospital Authority, Hong Kong. Professor. Chiu is the first in Hong Kong to perform endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for treatment of early GI cancers, pioneered world’s first robotic gastric ESD, as well as the first robotic colorectal ESD in 2020. His research interests include minimally invasive robotic esophagectomy, novel endoscopic technologies for diagnosis of early GI cancers, endoscopic surgery, as well as robotics for endoluminal surgery.
