About
Iman Carr investigates the critical intersection of human factors and surgical robotics, with a primary focus on communication and coordination challenges in robot-assisted surgery (RAS). Their most-cited work, a 2021 microanalytic pilot study, reveals how RAS disrupts traditional team interaction by limiting visibility and gesture use—key elements for referencing and coordinating attention during procedures. Carr’s research demonstrates that surgeons and teams face unique difficulties in “putting the what where” when verbal and non-verbal cues are constrained, highlighting the need for improved communication protocols and system design. With 6 citations, this foundational study has shaped discussions on teamwork in high-stakes surgical environments. Carr’s contributions extend to developing frameworks for analyzing team dynamics in technology-mediated settings, offering insights that inform training, workflow optimization, and the design of future robotic systems. Their work is essential for students and researchers interested in human-robot interaction, surgical safety, and the sociotechnical challenges of advanced medical technologies.
