About
Carolin Fellmann is a researcher at the intersection of medical robotics and advanced manufacturing, whose work focuses on enhancing the control and usability of continuum robots for minimally invasive surgery. Her major contributions center on concentric tube and tubular continuum robots—flexible, needle-sized instruments capable of navigating complex, constrained anatomical pathways that rigid tools cannot reach. Fellmann’s most-cited paper (14 citations) evaluates input devices for teleoperating these robots during surgical tasks, addressing critical human-robot interaction challenges. She further explores trajectory generation strategies to ensure safe, dexterous manipulation in autonomous or teleoperated modes (10 citations). Recognizing the sensory limitations of teleoperation, Fellmann innovatively investigates auditory displays to compensate for the lack of haptic feedback and restricted camera views in transnasal surgery (5 citations). Beyond surgical robotics, she contributes to micro-manufacturing quality control, proposing plenoptic cameras for 100% in-situ 2D/3D inspection of metallic micro components (8 citations). This dual focus on surgical precision and micro-scale manufacturing underscores her versatility. Fellmann’s work directly addresses practical barriers—from control interfaces to sensory feedback—paving the way for safer, more intuitive robotic systems in medicine and industry.
