About
Federico Barbagli is a leading researcher in medical robotics and haptic interfaces, whose work bridges the gap between robotic-assisted surgery and advanced human-machine interaction. His most impactful contribution is the development of a flexible robotic retrograde renoscopy system, detailed in his 2008 paper (108 citations), which introduced a novel robotic device for minimally invasive kidney stone treatment and demonstrated its feasibility through preliminary laboratory experiments. Barbagli has also made significant strides in cardiac ablation guidance, pioneering ultrasound-based localization algorithms using unscented particle filters (35 citations) and SLAM-based freehand 3D ultrasound reconstruction (10 citations) to improve catheter navigation in the left atrium. His expertise extends to haptics, where he has explored multi-point interaction with real and virtual objects (26 citations), dynamic performance of mobile haptic interfaces (21 citations), and tactile perception of rotational sliding (9 citations), contributing to the design of advanced force-feedback devices. Barbagli’s work, published in top venues like Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics, has laid foundational knowledge for next-generation surgical robots and virtual reality systems, making him a pivotal figure in enhancing precision and sensory feedback in medical interventions.
