About
Muller Urias is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics, artificial intelligence, and vitreoretinal surgery, dedicated to overcoming the fundamental sensory and motor limitations of human surgeons. His work focuses on developing intelligent robotic systems that enhance precision and safety in microsurgery, particularly for procedures like retinal vein cannulation. Urias’s major contributions include pioneering force-based control algorithms that actively regulate tool-to-tissue interaction, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2021 clinical study on adaptive control for sclera force safety (40 citations). He has also advanced the field through the design of novel robotic platforms, such as the Steady-Hand Eye Robot with an optimized tilt mechanism, and by developing force and velocity-based puncture detection for vein cannulation. His research provides critical in vivo and ex vivo data on scleral forces, directly informing safer surgical practices. With a portfolio of over 100 citations, Urias is a key voice in the field, critically examining the role of AI and robotics in eye surgery. His work is not only advancing the technical frontier but also laying the groundwork for translating robotic assistance from the lab into the operating room to improve patient outcomes.
