About

Marco Mura is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of ophthalmology and robotics, whose work is shaping the future of microsurgical precision. His primary focus is the development and clinical translation of robotic-assisted systems for vitreoretinal surgery, a field demanding extreme accuracy. Mura’s major contributions include comprehensive analyses of robotic system designs for eye surgery, as detailed in his highly cited 2018 review (78 citations), which maps the clinical development path and future directions of the field. He has also critically investigated human-robot interaction, demonstrating how vision constraints can limit surgical performance even with tele-operated robotic micromanipulators. Most notably, Mura is advancing multi-modal feedback platforms, such as the OCT-enhanced GEYEDANCE system (2025), which integrates Optical Coherence Tomography to improve safety and performance for surgeons of all skill levels. His work not only quantifies the potential of robotics to enhance surgical outcomes but also identifies key ergonomic and perceptual challenges, establishing him as a leading voice in translating cutting-edge engineering into tangible ophthalmic solutions.
