About
Dr. Irfan Kil is a leading researcher in haptic feedback and human-machine interaction, with a primary focus on enhancing surgical performance in minimally invasive surgery (MIS). His work bridges mechanical engineering and cognitive perception, investigating how surgeons detect and interpret mediated haptic information during delicate procedures. In his highly cited 2015 study, Dr. Kil explored the perception of haptic distance-to-break using both linear and nonlinear materials in simulated MIS tasks. This foundational research demonstrated that accurate force perception is critical for applying appropriate force magnitudes onto soft tissue, directly impacting the minimization of tissue trauma. By revealing how dynamic force administration influences surgical outcomes, his contributions have deepened the understanding of haptic feedback systems in robotic and teleoperated surgery. With over 10 citations on this single paper, Dr. Kil’s work continues to inform the design of more intuitive surgical interfaces and training simulators, making him a key figure in advancing safer, more effective minimally invasive techniques.
