About

Dr. K. Onda is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of nanorobotics, optical manipulation, and surgical robotics. Their most influential work centers on the 3D fabrication and manipulation of hybrid nanorobots using femtosecond lasers, a breakthrough that combines photoresist structures with silicon nanowires to create functional microrobots. This foundational paper, with 16 citations, demonstrates how laser-based 3D nanoexposure and optical tweezers can precisely fabricate and control these tiny machines, opening new avenues for targeted drug delivery and microassembly. In the realm of medical robotics, Dr. Onda has made significant contributions to teleoperative laparoscopic surgery by developing asynchronous force and visual feedback systems. Their 2010 paper (11 citations) addresses the critical challenge of transmission delays in robotic surgery, enhancing user-friendliness and precision. Further advancing optical manipulation, Dr. Onda applied robotic principles to multi-beam optical tweezers using Computer Generated Holography, enabling the dexterous control of over 200 objects in three dimensions. This work bridges robotics and optics, offering powerful tools for micromanipulation in biological and materials science. Dr. Onda’s research continues to push boundaries in nanorobotics and surgical systems, with lasting impact on both fundamental science and clinical applications.
