About

Hiroki Tadauchi is a pioneering researcher at the forefront of robotic neuroendovascular intervention, a field dedicated to developing robotic systems for minimally invasive brain surgery. His primary research focuses on creating remote-controlled master-slave robots to perform catheter-based procedures inside delicate blood vessels of the brain, with the critical goal of eliminating cumulative radiation exposure to surgeons and staff from fluoroscopic guidance. Tadauchi’s major contributions include leading the world's first experimental verification of remote catheter surgery using a neuroendovascular intervention support robot equipped with a sensing function (2021, 12 citations), a landmark proof-of-concept study. He has further advanced the field by developing specialized force sensors for these robotic systems (2022, 1 citation) and authoring comprehensive reviews on the state of robotics for neuroendovascular therapy (2025, 3 citations). His work directly addresses the unique challenges of endovascular treatment, where precise push-pull movements are essential, distinguishing it from robotic surgery in other fields. Tadauchi’s research is paving the way for safer, more accessible neurovascular interventions, promising a future where complex brain surgeries can be performed remotely with enhanced precision and reduced occupational hazard.
