About
Carlos Tercero is a leading researcher in the intersection of robotics, biomechanics, and endovascular surgery. His primary contributions lie in developing quantitative evaluation methods for catheter insertion robots, with a focus on photoelastic stress analysis to measure real-time forces on vasculature walls. By integrating robotics with optical stress analysis, Tercero pioneered techniques to provide haptic feedback for tele-surgery simulation and improve catheter trajectory evaluation—critical for reducing surgeon irradiation and enhancing procedural safety. His most cited work, “Photoelastic Stress Analysis Error Quantification in Vasculature Models for Robot Feedback Control” (22 citations), established a framework for accurate stress calculation in patient-specific vascular models. Other notable achievements include the numerical evaluation of catheter prototypes (15 citations) and haptic feedback systems for endovascular simulation (11 citations). Tercero’s research also extends to 3D vasculature modeling, micro-coil deployment stress analysis, and magnetic particle manipulation for vascular scaffolds. His work has directly advanced robotic catheter control, surgical simulation, and in-vitro tool evaluation, with cumulative citations exceeding 65. For students and researchers, Tercero’s contributions exemplify how interdisciplinary approaches—merging robotics, optics, and biomechanics—can solve critical challenges in minimally invasive surgery.
