Soft robotic manipulator for intraoperative MRI-guided transoral laser microsurgery

Dr Kwok Ka-Wai, and his research students, Fang Ge, Marco Chow, Justin Ho, He Zhuoliang, Wang Kui, from Department of Mechanical Engineering, developed a soft robotic platform capable to leverage real-time intra-operative magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (MRI) guidance, resulting in safe and precise control of laser ablation. The microvolume (<0.004 ml) hydraulic-driven soft robot is MR-compatible.
High-speed laser-scanning biological microscopy using FACED

Professor Yuguo Li, Chair Professor of Building Environment of Department of Mechanical Engineering, has been honored the Louise and Bill Holladay Distinguished Fellow Award 2021 by The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), in recognition of his contributions and pre-eminence in engineering and research work.
Slippery damper of an overlay for arresting and manipulating droplets on nonwetting surfaces

A mechanical engineering research team has developed a conceptually different strategy to enhance liquid disposition by overlaying impacting droplets with a tiny amount of lubricant (less than 0.1 vol% of the droplet), to modify their interfacial properties for easy manipulation. The findings have been published in the journal Nature Communications.
A research team led by Professor Tong Zhang developed a useful framework to evaluate the risks of antibiotic resistance genes

A research team led by Professor Tong Zhang of Department of Civil Engineering, has developed a useful framework to evaluate the risks of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), which have been declared a global public health threat by the World Health Organization.
