About
Hiroki Kayasuga is a pioneering researcher in robotic surgery, with a focused expertise in haptic feedback systems for surgical robots. His work centers on enhancing the safety and precision of robotic-assisted procedures by integrating force feedback—a critical advancement that addresses the inherent risk of tissue damage when surgeons lack tactile sensation. Kayasuga’s most influential contributions include the development and evaluation of force feedback functions in surgical robots, particularly demonstrated in his 2023 study on suturing procedures (11 citations) and his 2024 preclinical evaluation of the Saroa surgical system (10 citations). These studies, which involved both junior and senior surgeons, systematically quantified how contact-force feedback improves performance and reduces excessive force application. By bridging the gap between robotic automation and human tactile intuition, Kayasuga’s work has significant implications for patient safety and surgical training. His research not only advances the technical capabilities of platforms like Saroa but also provides empirical evidence that could shape future standards in robotic surgery, making him a key figure in the evolution of safer, more intuitive surgical robotics.
