About

Victor Perim’s research bridges the transformative potential of robotics with critical human needs, spanning education, healthcare, and surgical training. His foundational work, “Educational robotics as a learning aid for disabled children” (2011, 13 citations), addresses a profound challenge: combating “learned helplessness” in severely disabled children by using robotics to foster environmental exploration, interaction, and independence. This early contribution highlights his commitment to leveraging technology for social impact and inclusive education. More recently, Perim has advanced the field of robotic surgical education, co-authoring a systematic review (2024, 3 citations) that synthesizes strategies for optimizing skill development among trainees and attending surgeons. This work provides a comprehensive roadmap for curricula, simulation, and assessment, addressing the urgent need to train future surgeons in robotic modalities. By connecting robotics to both pediatric empowerment and surgical excellence, Perim demonstrates a rare ability to apply robotic systems across diverse, high-stakes domains. His research not only informs educational practices but also underscores the broader societal and clinical implications of human-robot interaction, making him a thoughtful voice at the intersection of technology, education, and medicine.
