About

Arbab Nighat Khizar is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, haptics, and oral surgery, best known for advancing tele-robotic systems in dental implantology. Her seminal work, "Tele-Robotic Assisted Dental Implant Surgery with Virtual Force Feedback" (2013), introduced a novel framework that integrates computer-aided surgical planning with tele-operated robotic assistance and virtual force feedback. This contribution directly addresses the high risks associated with the complex anatomical architecture of the cranio-maxillofacial area, offering surgeons enhanced precision and safety during implant procedures. While her most-cited paper has garnered 8 citations, its impact is significant within the niche field of surgical robotics, laying foundational groundwork for future innovations in minimally invasive dental surgery. Khizar’s research bridges engineering and clinical practice, demonstrating how virtual force feedback can mitigate human error in delicate operations. Her work is particularly notable for its interdisciplinary approach, combining mechanical design, control systems, and real-time sensory feedback to improve patient outcomes. For students and researchers exploring the future of robotic-assisted surgery, Khizar’s contributions represent a critical step toward safer, more reliable tele-surgical interventions in dentistry.
