About
Eric A. Singer is a uniquely interdisciplinary researcher whose work spans the seemingly disparate worlds of robotic surgery and robotic musical instruments. His primary research areas include urologic oncology, specifically robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, and the development of novel human-machine interfaces for musical expression. A major contribution is his pioneering work with LEMUR (League of Electronic Musical Urban Robots), where he helped create robotic instruments like the Guitarbot, blending engineering with artistic performance. His paper "Lemur's Musical Robots" (2004, 69 citations) and related works have been foundational in the field of new interfaces for musical expression. In urology, Singer has made significant clinical contributions, notably in adapting residency training during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020, 70 citations) and advancing single-port robotic prostatectomy techniques, reporting on short-term outcomes and learning curves (2022, 30 citations). His work on regional cost variations of robotic versus open prostatectomy (2015, 30 citations) has informed healthcare policy. With over 300 total citations, Singer’s career demonstrates a rare fusion of artistic innovation and surgical precision, making him a notable figure in both robotic music and urologic robotics.
