About

Dr. Talia Perez is a leading researcher in haptic perception and surgical robotics, with a focus on restoring tactile feedback in minimally invasive surgeries (MIS). Her work addresses a critical challenge in laparoscopic and robotic procedures: the loss of natural haptic force feedback due to limited field of view and distorted sensory input. Perez’s most cited paper, "Haptic Perception with Artificial Tissues" (2024), introduces innovative methods for rendering alternative haptic feedback through visual elements, such as forced tissue deformation, to compensate for absent tactile cues. This contribution has garnered early recognition with 2 citations, signaling its growing impact in the field. Her research bridges the gap between human sensory perception and robotic systems, aiming to enhance surgical precision and patient outcomes. By developing artificial tissue models that simulate realistic haptic responses, Perez is paving the way for safer, more intuitive MIS technologies. Her work is particularly notable for its potential to transform training and practice in robotic surgery, making her a rising figure in biomedical engineering and human-robot interaction.
