About
T. Horiguchi is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotics, haptics, and telemedicine, with a focused expertise in tele-echography systems. His primary contribution lies in developing human interfaces that allow medical doctors to remotely control ultrasound probes, a critical innovation for expanding diagnostic access to underserved or distant patients. Notably, Horiguchi pioneered the integration of haptic feedback into these systems, enabling a remote physician to sense the contact force exerted on a patient’s body surface. This restitution of tactile sensation is essential for performing safe and effective ultrasound examinations from afar. His key papers, including "Development of Graphical User Interface to Control Remote Probe by Reflecting Contact Force on Body Surface for Tele-echography System" (2009) and "Development of Tele-echography Interface Considering Contact Force of Ultrasound Probe to Body Surface" (2008), each with 2 citations, laid the foundational architecture for signal and image communication between the robot and controller. While his citation count is modest, his work represents a meaningful step toward making remote diagnostic procedures more intuitive and physically responsive, a crucial advancement for the future of telehealth and robotic surgery.
