About
Chumpon Wilasrusmee is a surgeon-engineer whose research bridges clinical medicine and robotics, with a particular focus on minimally invasive surgical technology and medical device innovation. His most recognized contribution is the development of the MU-LapaRobot, a wire-driven laparoscopic surgical robotic system designed to integrate seamlessly with traditional surgical instruments, deliberately minimizing the learning curve for practicing surgeons — a pragmatic design philosophy that sets his work apart. Building on this foundation, Wilasrusmee has advanced bilateral control models and observer-based dynamic systems to regulate surgical tool forces during laparoscopic procedures, addressing real patient safety concerns around tissue injury. His 2022 investigation into 3D force and torque parameters during primary trocar insertion further demonstrates his commitment to quantifying and reducing surgical risk. Early work on a novel robotic monofilament test for diabetic neuropathy — his most cited paper with 16 citations — reveals a broader interest in translating engineering innovation into accessible clinical diagnostics. Collectively, his publications have accumulated over 45 citations, reflecting a growing influence in surgical robotics and the engineering of safer, smarter operating room technologies.
