About

Fumiya Mitome is a robotics researcher specializing in haptic feedback and bilateral control systems for minimally invasive surgery. His work focuses on developing multi-degree-of-freedom (DOF) telesurgical forceps robots that transmit tactile information to operators, enhancing precision in remote procedures. Mitome’s most-cited paper, “Development of 16-DOF telesurgical forceps master/slave robot with haptics” (2010, 13 citations), introduces a sophisticated system that integrates haptics into surgical robotics, addressing the critical need for bilateral control in endoscopic surgeries. He further explores network-based master-slave systems in “Bilateral control with Bluetooth and its evaluation” (2011, 3 citations), advancing remote surgical capabilities. In “Function separation for 2-DOF haptic surgical forceps robots driven by multi drive linear motors” (2012, 3 citations), Mitome innovates by separating hand and arm functions mechanically, allowing intuitive grasping without additional motor drives. His contributions lie at the intersection of haptics, bilateral control, and surgical robotics, with a focus on improving patient outcomes through enhanced teleoperation. Mitome’s work is foundational for researchers developing next-generation telesurgery systems, demonstrating how multi-DOF robots and haptic feedback can transform minimally invasive procedures.
