About

Jaydeep Roy is a pioneer in the application of robotic systems to microsurgery, with a specific focus on otologic procedures. His key research areas include surgical robotics, force-controlled manipulation, and human-robot cooperative systems. Roy’s most significant contribution is the development and validation of a cooperative manipulation microsurgical assistant robot for stapedotomy—a delicate procedure to treat hearing loss. His landmark 2002 paper, “Robot‐Assisted Stapedotomy: Micropick Fenestration of the Stapes Footplate,” has garnered 48 citations, demonstrating its foundational impact on the field. In this work, he demonstrated that robotic assistance could improve the accuracy and safety of fenestrating the stapes footplate, a critical and challenging step. His 2001 study on performance evaluation of the cooperative robot further solidified the potential for robots to enhance surgical precision. Roy’s research bridges mechanical design, control theory, and clinical application, offering a roadmap for integrating force-controlled robots into operating rooms. His work remains a touchstone for researchers developing next-generation surgical assistants, highlighting how careful engineering can transform high-stakes procedures.
