About

Naji Younes is a pioneering researcher in haptics and sensory substitution, with a focus on restoring force feedback in robotic-assisted surgery. His work addresses a critical limitation of modern surgical robots—the loss of tactile and force sensations for surgeons, which can compromise precision and safety. Younes’s most-cited paper, “Sensory Substitution for Force Feedback Recovery” (2018, 16 citations), introduces innovative methods to replace missing haptic cues with alternative sensory signals, enhancing surgical performance and reducing error. This contribution has significant implications for improving ergonomics and outcomes in minimally invasive procedures. Beyond this, Younes explores the intersection of robotics, human perception, and medical device design, aiming to make robotic surgery more intuitive and effective. His research is recognized for its practical impact, bridging engineering and clinical needs. With a growing citation record, Younes is establishing himself as a key voice in haptic feedback recovery, offering solutions that could transform how surgeons interact with robotic systems.
