Description
Recent Progress in Medical Miniature Robots: From Bench to Bedside serves as a
specialized and dedicated reference on miniature robots and their related biomedical
applications. This 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. Recent Progress in Medical Miniature Robots:
From Bench to Bedside is suitable for clinicians, academicians, healthcare professionals,
researchers, students, engineers, and scientists working in the field of medical miniature
robots and related biomedical applications.

Li Zhang is a professor at the Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering and a professor by courtesy at the Department of Surgery at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). He is a director at the SIAT-CUHK Joint Laboratory of Robotics and Intelligent Systems, and a group leader in the Multi-scale Medical Robotics Center (MRC), InnoHK, at the Hong Kong Science Park. Dr. Zhang's research interests include small-scale robotics and biomedical applications. He is elected as FIEEE, FRSC, FAAIA, FHKIE, a member of the Hong Kong Young Academy of Sciences, and an Outstanding Fellow of the Faculty of Engineering at CUHK.
Philip Wai Yan Chiu is currently the Dean of
the Faculty of Medicine, Shun Hing Education
and Charity Fund Professor of Robotic Surgery
at CUHK, and the Director of MRC
and Chow Yuk Ho Technology Centre for
Innovative Medicine of CUHK. He is also
the Director of Endoscopy at Prince of Wales
Hospital and the New Territories East Cluster
of the Hong Kong Hospital Authority. His
research interests include minimally invasive
robotic esophagectomy, novel endoscopic
technologies for the diagnosis of early GI cancers,
endoscopic surgery, and robotics for
endoluminal surgery. Kai Fung Chan is a research assistant professor
at the Chow Yuk Ho Technology Centre
for Innovative Medicine and MRC of CUHK.
His research interests include medical miniature
devices, micro-/nanorobotics, and translational
medicine. He is also a co-founder
of three start-up companies that are related
to in vitro diagnostic devices, miniature medical
devices, and medical microrobotic
technologies.
