About

Michael M. Bornstein is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of haptic feedback, soft robotics, and computer-assisted surgery. His work primarily focuses on developing advanced sensory feedback systems for prosthetic and robotic hands, as well as innovating digital workflows in dental implantology. Bornstein’s most cited paper, “Armband with Soft Robotic Actuators and Vibrotactile Stimulators for Bimodal Haptic Feedback from a Dexterous Artificial Hand” (2018, 14 citations), introduces a novel wearable device that combines soft robotic actuators with vibrotactile stimulators to deliver rich, bimodal haptic feedback. This contribution addresses a critical gap in prosthetic technology by more closely mimicking the complex perceptual experience of human touch. In his more recent work, “Dynamic and Robotic Computer‐Assisted Implant Surgery—A Possible Workflow for the Future?” (2025, 2 citations), Bornstein explores the potential of dynamic navigation and robotic systems to enhance accuracy and minimize trauma in dental implant procedures. His research demonstrates a clear trajectory from improving human-machine interaction to advancing precision in surgical practice, marking him as a versatile innovator in biomedical engineering and digital dentistry.
