About
Antonio De Donno is a leading researcher in surgical robotics and medical mechatronics, with a primary focus on developing flexible robotic systems for minimally invasive surgery. His most significant contribution is the introduction of STRAS, a novel flexible robotic system designed for endoluminal and transluminal procedures, which builds upon the Anubis® platform to enable precise, cable-driven control of endoscopic instruments. This work, published in 2013, has garnered 51 citations, establishing him as a key innovator in the field. De Donno has also advanced proton therapy by investigating the integration of in-room imaging with optical tracking systems at CNAO (Centro Nazionale di Adroterapia Oncologica), achieving 20 citations for his comparative study. His research extends to master/slave control architectures for flexible instruments, demonstrating the feasibility of robotic assistance in complex surgical environments. More recently, he has explored robot assistance primitives with force-field guidance for shared task collaboration, reflecting his ongoing commitment to enhancing human-robot interaction in clinical settings. With a career spanning over a decade, De Donno’s work continues to shape the future of robotic surgery and precision medicine.
