About
Yuichiro Ueda is a pioneering researcher in robotic-assisted thoracic surgery, with a focused expertise in haptic feedback systems for surgical robots. His work centers on addressing a critical limitation of robotic surgery—the absence of tactile sensation—which can lead to unintended organ damage. Ueda’s major contributions involve the clinical evaluation of the Saroa™ surgical system, a pneumatically driven robot developed by Riverfield Inc. that provides real-time haptic force feedback. His most-cited paper (2023, 31 citations) demonstrates how this technology enhances surgical precision and safety, while his 2025 in vivo study (7 citations) quantifies tissue damage under varying grasping forces, offering crucial data for safer instrument design. Notably, Ueda led the first clinical application of this haptic robot in thoracic surgery (2024, 5 citations), a landmark achievement in the field. His research also extends to postoperative outcomes, investigating factors related to pain following robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (2024, 2 citations). With a cumulative impact that is rapidly growing, Ueda is shaping the next generation of surgical robotics, making procedures safer and more intuitive for both surgeons and patients.
