Research portfolio
I am Xiaofeng Lin, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Tokyo. My work connects surgical robots, microscopic 3D vision, and intraoperative navigation for microsurgery and micromanipulation.
This homepage now foregrounds the projects visually. The highlighted videos below show two directions that define my current portfolio: navigation-guided intervention and precise robotic surface processing.
Current emphasis
Detailed biography, publications, and project history now live on the About Me page.
Startup navigation
This teaser shows a trackable fiber navigating the mouse skull while the interface overlays a preoperative model and CT slices in real time. It is the clearest front-door example of the navigation platform in Start-up Project A.
Visitors who want the fuller story can continue to the project page, where the static-registration demo and project brief are now collected together.
Autonomous microdrilling
This demonstration shows a robotic microdrill engraving the UTokyo logo into an eggshell. It is a concise visual proof of precise surface fitting, calibration, and autonomous execution at a scale that immediately communicates control quality.
