About
Arpita Routray is a leading researcher in the field of surgical robotics, with a specific focus on enhancing safety and precision in neurosurgery and vitreoretinal surgery. Her work centers on developing active handheld instruments and intelligent virtual fixture systems to mitigate the challenges of delicate microsurgery, such as surgeon tremor, poor visualization, and excessive force application. Routray’s most significant contribution is her pioneering approach to integrating real-time computer vision with robotic assistance. Her 2018 paper on an active handheld instrument for safer neurosurgery has garnered 37 citations, establishing a foundation for tremor-canceling tools. She further advanced the field with her 2021 work on monocular vision-based retinal membrane peeling, addressing the critical issue of unintended movement during ophthalmic procedures. Her subsequent research on real-time vessel segmentation and retinal surface estimation (2022, 2019) provides the algorithmic backbone for creating virtual fixtures that guide surgeons, thereby improving accuracy and reducing risk. Through these contributions, Routray is shaping the next generation of smart, assistive surgical tools that promise to make complex microsurgeries safer and more accessible.
