About
Alexandros Kogkas is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, eye-tracking, and surgical innovation. His work centers on developing intuitive, gaze-controlled robotic systems for both surgical and assistive applications. Kogkas’s major contributions include the creation of LaryngoTORS, a novel cable-driven parallel robotic system for transoral laser phonosurgery (42 citations), and a free-view, 3D gaze-guided assistive robotic system that enables quadriplegic patients to perform activities of daily living (34 citations). He has also advanced endoscopic procedures with a gaze-controlled flexible robotized endoscope (25 citations) and an eye-tracking based robotic scrub nurse (25 citations), both demonstrating the feasibility of hands-free, intuitive control in the operating theatre. His work on perceptually enabled interactions in the operating room (21 citations) further highlights his commitment to improving surgical outcomes through multimodal data integration. With over 180 total citations, Kogkas’s research is shaping the future of human-robot interaction, making complex procedures more accessible and enhancing the quality of life for patients with severe motor impairments.
